I promice that my medical knowledge will be used to benefit peoples’s health;patients are my first concern. I will listen to them, and provide the best care I can. I will be honest, respectful, and compassionate towards all.

I will do my best to help anyone in medical need, in emergencies. I will make every effort to ensure the rights of all patient are respected, including vulnerable groups who lack means of making theire needs known.

I will exercise my professional judgment as independently as possible, uninfluenced by political pressure or the social standing of my patient. I will not put personal profit or advancement above my duty to my patient.

I recognize the special value of human life, but I also know that prolonging life is not the only aim of health care. If I agree to perform abortion, I agree it should take place only within an ethical and legal context.

I will not provide treatments that are  pointless or harmful, or which an informed and competent patient refuses. I will help patients find the information and support they want to make decisions on theire care.

I will aswer as truthfully as I can, and respect patient’s decisions, unless that puts others at risk of substantial harm. If I cannot agree with their requests, I will explain why.

 If my patients have limited mental awareness, I will still encourage them to participate in decisions as much as they feel able. I will do my best to maintain confidentiality about all patients.

If there are overriding reasons preventing my keeping a patient’s confidentiality I will explain them. I will recognize the limits of my knowledge and seek advice from colleagues as needed. I will acknowledge my mistakes.

I will do my best to keep myself and my colleagues informed of new developments, and ensure that poor standarards or bad practices are exposed to those who can improve them.

I will show respect for all those with whom I work and be ready to share my knowledge by teaching others what I know. I will use my training and professional standing to improve the community in which I work.

I will treat patients equitably and support a fair and humane distribution of health resources. I will try to influence positively authorities whose policies harm public health.

I will oppose policies which breach internationally accepted standards of human rights. I will strive to change laws that are contrary to patients’interests or to my professional ethics.

While I continue to keep this oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all, in all times.
