Abstract

Consent means voluntary agreement, compliance or permission. Consent signifies acceptance by a person of the consequences of an act that is being carried out. Informed consent is a communication process of providing the patient/parents/guardians with relevant information regarding the treatment and the diagnosis, so that they can make informed decisions. The process of informed consent in pediatric patients is not well understood. The amount of information to be disclosed in an informed consent is a matter of debate.

Keywords: Consent; Assent; Child; India; Informed Consent; Parents.
