Abstract

 Ethical choices, both minor and major, confront us every day in the provision of health care for persons with diverse values living in a pluralistic and multicultural society. Several sets of principles have been drawn to guide professional behaviour; the earliest being from the 4th century BC, by Hippocrates, directed to physicians “to help and do no harm” in his book “Of the Epidemics”.
