Moving on from a Patient-Centred to a God-Centred Ethics

Abstract

"The ethics and the quality of the health-care system has come under scrutiny within the Malaysian scene. Every nation whether rich or poor is struggling to make sure that its citizens have easy access to equitable healthcare. There has been public displeasure at the unreasonably high charges imposed by private hospitals. There have also been reports of private clinics insisting on deposits before treatment and patients being moved to public hospitals because of their inability to pay the bills. The noblest profession in the world has lost its charm; doctors have become aloof and uncaring."
