ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE ON M EDICAL AND PARAMEDICAL CODES OF ETHICS
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Ethical considerations and applications are very significant for conducting any professional duty, most especially medical and allied professions like Medical and Surgical care and treatments, Nursing care and Midwifery. This is because medical care is directly concerned with saving life, treatment of ailments and relief of sufferings of sick persons. Various professions codified their peculiar ethical codes of conduct for offering better services to their clients. Since ethical conducts are morally oriented and Islam instructs its followers to always be morally upright, it could rightly be deduced that there are some ethical guidelines within its teachings in the Qur’an and Sunnah (prophetic traditions) for offering better services to patients by Muslim professionals in medical and allied professions. These includes attitudes between the health worker and the patient, the heath worker and his colleagues, personal qualities, confidence, sincerity and dedication to duty, among others. This article is therefore an attempt to highlight on Islamic perspective of ethical conducts for Muslim health personnel, for emulation and execution.
