Privacy for Medical Self-Care

Meaning

Privacy for Medical Self-Care is the right of an individual to have a secure, confidential, and physically isolated space to perform necessary, routine medical procedures, particularly those involving self-administration of injectable or other discreet hormonal therapies. This accommodation recognizes the sensitive nature of self-injection, blood glucose monitoring, or pump management, which often require temporary seclusion to maintain dignity, sterility, and personal comfort. Ensuring this privacy is a fundamental component of supporting patient compliance and well-being in non-clinical settings.
