Hospital Ethics Committees

Hospital Ethics Committees are groups of healthcare professionals, often including doctors, nurses, legal experts, and community members, who help address difficult ethical issues in patient care. They review complex situations—such as end-of-life decisions, consent, or resource allocation—to ensure actions align with ethical standards and patient rights. Their goal is to support healthcare providers and families in making informed, compassionate choices that respect patient dignity and values. These committees act as an impartial resource, fostering open dialogue and guiding ethically sound decisions in challenging medical cases.
