Patient

A patient is an individual who is receiving medical care or treatment for a health condition or illness. Patients may be treated by a range of healthcare professionals like physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals. Effective patient care involves a partnership between the healthcare provider and the patient, with a focus on clear communication, shared decision-making, and an individualized approach to treatment that takes into account the patient's specific medical history, symptoms, and needs.
