ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND
THEIR IMPORTANCE IN HEALTH
Ethics is a philosophical discipline that aims to distinguish between right and wrong in human behavior. Ethics is particularly important in the fields of health, medical and life sciences. The World Health, Medical, and Life Sciences Organization (WHML.ORG) places ethical principles at the core of its work to ensure that professionals and volunteers in these fields act in accordance with ethical standards. This text will detail WHML.ORG’s commitments, projects, and activities in the field of ethics.
ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
WHML.ORG ensures the adoption and implementation of ethical principles in all its work. These principles guide the provision of health services, medical research, and all activities related to life sciences. WHML.ORG is also determined to enforce necessary sanctions in case of violations of ethical rules.
PATIENT PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Patient privacy is one of the cornerstones of WHML.ORG’s ethical work. The organization implements strict rules to protect the personal and health information of patients. Patient information can only be used by relevant health professionals and with the patient’s consent. This is vital to gain patients’ trust and improve the quality of health services.
INFORMED CONSENT
Informed consent ensures that patients have full knowledge about medical procedures and treatments and can make conscious decisions about their health. WHML.ORG guarantees that this process is carried out ethically and correctly. All health professionals provide necessary information to their patients in a clear and understandable manner, encouraging active participation in the decision-making process.
ETHICAL RESEARCH PRACTICES
Medical research has the potential to improve human health and quality of life, but these studies must adhere to ethical standards. WHML.ORG ensures that strict ethical rules are applied in all research projects. Research participants must voluntarily participate by giving informed consent and be informed about all risks and benefits. Furthermore, it is essential that research results are reported accurately and honestly.
ETHICS AND INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS
WHML.ORG strengthens its work on ethical principles through international and national collaborations. By collaborating with the United Nations, World Health Organization, UNICEF, and various civil society organizations, it contributes to the development of global ethical standards. Also, by working with local partners in each region, solutions are developed for regional issues.
ETHICS COMMITTEES AND ADVISORY BOARDS
WHML.ORG forms ethics committees and advisory boards for all research projects and the provision of health services. These committees oversee the compliance of projects and services with ethical standards and provide necessary recommendations. Ethics committees work independently and impartially to ensure that the organization meets its ethical commitments.
