Autonomy is essential in the exercise of responsibility and the recognized capacity of the user in new health rights. The objective here is to analyze the influence of the empowerment of autonomy arising from new health rights, in the self-responsibility of professionals and users in the face of public health problems. It is necessary to achieve the self-care of users by promoting those values thanks to both the commitment of professionals and by "empowering" patients, with higher levels of health education and an ethic of citizenship in the use of public resources.
