International Medical Ethics Guidelines

International Medical Ethics Guidelines provide a set of principles to ensure healthcare professionals treat patients with respect, honesty, and fairness. They emphasize informed consent, patient confidentiality, and the importance of beneficence—acting in patients' best interests. These guidelines also advocate for justice in access to healthcare and require medical professionals to maintain competence and integrity. Established by organizations like the World Medical Association, they aim to promote ethical standards worldwide, guiding practitioners to make morally sound decisions that prioritize patient well-being while respecting cultural and legal differences.
