Thinking About Medical Ethics in a Privatised Context

Chang Da Wan

Abstract

Prompted by personal observation and experiences, this article argues the need to rethink medicalethics for medical personnel working in the private healthcare sector. Although medical personnel arebounded by the Code of Medical Ethics, private healthcare providers are not subjected to a similarcode. Within such as context, would medical personnel able to adhere to their ethics? Should privatehealthcare providers also be subjected to a similar set of ethics?
