Medical Ethics

Abstract

Medical ethics occupy an important part in every aspect of the medical profession (e.g. patients’ encounters, medical research and medical education). Medical ethics include the concepts of moral and professional duties of the medical professionals, not only doctors but all the allied or auxiliary medical professions. For several centuries the issue of medical ethics has become a hot issue subject to a continuous debate even for non-medical parties. We recommend that medical ethics should be part of all training and academic programmed of students and practicing doctors.
