Declaration of Geneva

The Declaration of Geneva is a pledge made by medical professionals to uphold ethical standards in their practice. Adopted in 1948 by the World Medical Association, it emphasizes the importance of patient care, respect for human life, and the commitment to treat all patients without discrimination. It reflects the values of compassion, integrity, and dedication that should guide physicians in their work, echoing the spirit of the Hippocratic Oath. Essentially, it serves as a modern commitment to the moral responsibilities of health care providers in promoting human dignity and alleviating suffering.
