Ethical Principles

Justice

Every patient, regardless of background, culture, or socioeconomic status, should receive fair and equitable care. It also means avoiding discrimination and ensuring that decisions are made in a way that benefits all patients, particularly those most in need of care.

Beneficence

Acting in the best interest of the patient, ensuring that all actions taken by healthcare providers aim to benefit the patient. This includes providing treatments that promote the patient's well-being, relieving pain, and preventing harm. 

Non-Maleficence

Non-maleficence is the obligation to "do no harm." This principle ensures that healthcare providers avoid causing unnecessary harm or suffering to the patient. It involves carefully weighing the risks and benefits of any medical intervention, ensuring that the potential benefits always outweigh the risks. 

Autonomy

Respect the patient's right to make their own informed decisions about their medical services. This approach acknowledges that patients can understand their condition and treatment options and should be empowered to choose what they believe is best for them.
