Human Values in Medicine: A Novel Perspective | Chapter 19 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 1

Human values derive from the idea of divinity, according to Indian philosopher, educator, and philanthropist Sathya Sai Baba. Or, to put it another way, human values are the manifestations of God in the human state. The five human values—love, truth, right action, peace, and nonviolence—were his hypotheses. There are several sub-values that fall under each value, and these are reflected in the medical ethics values. The practise of clinical medicine and scientific research are both governed by a framework of moral standards known as medical ethics. Respect for autonomy (self-determination), non-maleficence (non-violence), beneficence (charity), and fairness are some of these principles (equity). Sai Baba draws attention to a minute distinction between human values and ethics, specifically: that the concept of ethics was created by humans without taking into account the role that deity plays. The five fundamental values—namely, the fulfilment of the intellect's search for truth, the channelling of the will into satisfying expression through right action, the resolution of human emotion and interaction conflicts in the pursuit of inner and outer peace, the expansion of the heart in the flow of love, and the realisation of perfection—combine to form a complete vision of human potential. In addition to acting as a moral standard for doctor-patient relationships, human values in medicine involve making sure that clinical and managerial techniques adhere to generally recognised ethics standards, norms, and expectations. The innate humanism in medical practise has frequently been abandoned in recent years as a result of scientism as a goal, which has led to the science of medicine superseding the art of medicine. Sai Baba's value-based healthcare's teaching aids in bringing out the human qualities that are innate in every person.

Study about Informed Consent for Surgical Care in East Africa | Chapter 20 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 3

 In the industrialised world, one of the pillars of ethical surgical practise is informed surgical consent. Pre-operative surgical consent has only been studied by a few researchers in low-income developing countries. After the surgeon caring for the patient has supplied the essential information, the patient has the right to make an autonomous and independent decision regarding his or her surgical treatment during the informed consent procedure. The Lisbon Declaration of the World Medical Association (WMA) promotes patient autonomy and decision-making independence. Factors including familial and cultural history, education, religion, and socioeconomic status can all influence informed consent in surgical practise. Few studies have looked at surgeons' consent practises in East Africa in order to describe optimal surgical practises and find areas for development in the region. The authors' personal experiences with surgical consent among Ugandan surgeons, as well as the specific issues faced in East Africa, were the focus of this review. In Uganda, the administration and documentation of informed consent are still lacking. Better medical ethics education and communication skills training are required in medical schools. Refresher training in medical ethics and communication skills may be required for fully trained surgeons.

Disputes in Diagnostics: Is It Possible to Avoid them? | Chapter 17 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 4

 Unfortunately, due to clinical-diagnostic differences induced by vanity and a lack of professional and personal respect between cardiologists, whether from the same hospital or from separate hospitals, this will not be the first nor the last occasion. Discrepancies in diagnoses are common, and the outcomes of various therapies have most likely put patients' lives in jeopardy.

Emphasizing the Health Care Ethics: Overview of the Basics | Chapter 6 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 5

Medicine and health care deals with human health, life and death, and medical ethics deal with ethical standards for medicine and health care practice, or how it can be done so that medical ethics questions are among the most relevant and consequential topics in human life. We address such questions in this summary in order to raise awareness of the fundamental ethics of health care: what is ethics, what are the different areas of ethics involved with medical practices, what are the forms of ethical methods in relation to medical practice. Conclusion: It is possible to raise knowledge of medical ethics in health care by recognizing the fundamentals of ethics.
