Aim of the study was to assess health management student’s knowledge on patient’s rights in public universities in Turkey. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted among undergraduate health management students enrolled in three public universities in Turkey. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaire on patient rights. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the study participants. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis Test were used to identify a relationship between knowledge and other factors. Results: Total 400 students from health management department from three different public universities participated in this study. The participants' mean age was 20.97± 1.68 years old (range, 18-32 years). 59% of students were male and 41%of them were female. The results showed there were not significantly different in knowledge score between genders (P=0.064). There were statistically significant differences in terms of knowledge score for different year of study groups (P=0.002) also there was a statistically significant difference in Knowledge score for students from different university (P=0.000). Conclusion: In general, 65% of respondents had good level of knowledge while 35% of them had bad knowledge about patient rights.
