Abstract
"Increasingly, literature on pandemic influenza planning and responses indicates that emergency responses during public health crises such as a pandemic should be directed not just by medical and military logistical expertise; but also by certain ethical values and considerations32. In general, in post-SARS period, there is a growing realization that pandemic planning response has an ethical dimension too. Lessons learnt from the earlier pandemics33 and the more recent SARS34 are cited to show why and how inclusion of ethical considerations in our pandemic strategies and policies could have made and can still make significant difference in addressing the wide range of ethical challenges that a pandemic situation may raise. Apparent benefits of inclusion of ethical values in a pandemic influenza action and response plan are claimed to be many, from mitigation of the mortality rate35 to raising the level of public trust and cooperation36."(pg 118)
