Medical Ethics in TCM

Medical ethics in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) involve principles that ensure practitioners provide safe, respectful, and effective care. Key concepts include beneficence (acting in the patient’s best interest), non-maleficence (avoiding harm), autonomy (respecting patient choices), and justice (fair treatment). TCM practitioners also emphasize honesty, confidentiality, and maintaining professional integrity. These ethics guide practices like honest communication, informed consent, and ensuring treatments are appropriate and safe, blending traditional wisdom with ethical standards to promote patient well-being and trust.
