Abstract
In the interview, Sarangi rightly points to the increasing drive to recognize patients, and more generally, lay persons, as experts and decision-makers. For instance, patients have their own unique knowledge of being a patient and receiver of healthcare services. A patient also knows what is important to him or her and must therefore play a crucial role in the decision-making process relating to the care given.
