Women’s Hospital - New Horizon, Integration of Bioethics into Clinical Practice
‘New Horizon, Integration of Bioethics into Clinical Practice’ is a unique, courageous and challenging project pioneered by the Women’s Hospital (WH) and led by the WH Ethics Committee. The initiative aims to introduce and integrate ethics into the clinical practice of women’s services. Ethical decision-making for women's health presents a series of unique challenges, such as moral uncertainty when ethical values, maternal and fetal interests come to a conflict.
The WH Healthcare Ethics Committee’s role is to analyze ethical dilemmas and to advise and educate healthcare professionals, patients, and families regarding difficult treatment decisions in a corporate-wide capacity.
