Abstract

Issues about ethics and the principle of autonomy in the relationships between health professionals and patients are analyzed with a comprehensive view of the Peruvian and Colombian regulations and jurisprudence, in order to allow dialogue in relation to the responses given around health information. In addition to the above, an analysis is made of the phenomenon of the rights and duties of the parties involved in health care, traditionally focused on the patient but which must recognize the active participation of health professionals. Finally, it addresses the recognition of the principle of autonomy in the doctor-patient relationship as the fundamental axis of the doctor-user relationship, protected by legal systems as the basis of health protection as a fundamental right and as a social right.
