  • The right to bodily autonomy is legally recognized in Malaysia.
  • Informed consent is crucial for preserving patient autonomy in medical decision-making.
  • Its application in medical litigation has emerged recently, particularly concerning negligence claims against doctors for non-disclosure of treatment information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the recognition of patients' decision-making rights in Malaysia.
  • To explore the influence of socio-cultural doctor-patient relationships on shared decision-making.
  • To gauge reactions to the doctrine of informed consent through patient and doctor interviews.

  • Analyzing social-cultural dynamics in the Malaysian healthcare context.

    • Main Results:

    • There is an identified need to integrate informed consent principles into quality patient service.

    Conclusions:

    • The integration of informed consent principles in Malaysia faces significant socio-cultural barriers.
    • Shared decision-making, central to informed consent, is not yet widely recognized.
    • Emphasizing informed consent is vital for enhancing the quality of patient care and services.
