Abstract
Informed consent of patient to healthcare is both a legal and ethical requirement. Any defect or vice of consent is an infringement to patient rights. We carried out a cross-sectional survey to find out the scope and the types of consent defects in Bamako. From February 2010 to September 2010, 360 adult patients were submitted a questionnaire. There was a defect of consent in 57.8% (n=208). The different types of defect of consent were: fraud (57.8%), violence (16.9%), and error (14.4%).The majority of the patients were housewives, 37.8% (n=136), followed by students, 20.7% (n=76). 29.2% of the patients were illiterate (n=105), 37.8% (n=136) had a primary level, 8.1% had a secondary level (n=29).
