According to the World Health Organization (2024), one of every person's fundamental rights is to enjoy the best possible quality of health, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, social status, or economic standing. I believe this wholeheartedly. I do not believe that others should be the ones to decide if someone is incapable of obtaining medical care. Individual needs and rights are just as significant as the needs and rights of public health systems. According to the Human Rights Watch (2019), Policymakers must be especially cautious to guarantee access to those who are most likely to encounter barriers: the underprivileged, people with disabilities, women, and children, among others. Acknowledging individual rights can help with the establishment of new legislation, such as the privacy and informed consent rights. Ethics is a crucial field in medicine that directs appropriate medical practice. It addresses moral dilemmas brought about by conflicts between commitments and duties and the ensuing fallout. I decided to proceed with the utilitarian strategy. "In the utilitarian approach, decisions are chosen based on the greatest amount of benefit obtained for the greatest number of individuals" (Mandal et al., 2016). This strategy increases the affordability and accessibility of healthcare for those who are most vulnerable, hence increasing stakeholders' influence over decisions about health policy. According to this paradigm, the community and interests come second to the requirements of the patient. This methodology increases the most vulnerable population's access to and affordability of healthcare, which influences stakeholders' ability to influence decisions about health policy. The community's and the patient's interests come second in this approach, after the demands of the patient. References

Hi Liza, Great job with the discussion post. I agree with many of your points! According to the World Health Organization (2024), one of every person's fundamental right is to enjoy the best possible quality of health, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, social status, or economic standing. As you stated, persons demands and entitlements in the healthcare system ought to be prioritized online with public health systems. I agree because people directly profit from healthcare services, and maintaining a healthy society depends on people's well-being which you directly demonstrated in the discussion post. Ethics is a crucial field in medicine that

directs appropriate medical practice. It addresses moral dilemmas brought about by conflicts between commitments and duties and the ensuing fallout. I decided to proceed with the utilitarian strategy. "In the utilitarian approach, decisions are chosen based on the greatest amount of benefit obtained for the greatest number of individuals" (Mandal et al., 2016). The overarching ethical framework in biomedical ethics, known as principlism, is the four-principles approach, which directs both public health and clinical ethics (Vearrier & Henderson, 2021). Similarly, as you stated, it is important to take into account the needs of all parties involved, particularly insurance companies, government organizations, healthcare providers, and consumers. All these objectives ought to be balanced while making ethical decisions to advance the best possible health outcomes for the general public. References Mandal, J., Ponnambath, D. K., & Parija, S. C.

Human Rights Day in 2017. Ethics is a crucial field in medicine that directs appropriate medical practice. It addresses moral dilemmas brought about by conflicts between commitments and duties and the ensuing fallout. I decided to proceed with the utilitarian strategy. "In the utilitarian approach, decisions are chosen based on the greatest amount of benefit obtained for the greatest number of individuals" (Mandal et al., 2016). You mentioned the deontological ethical framework. Great choice. According to Tseng and Wang (2021), utilitarian ethics and deontological ethics are significant philosophies that influence medical and healthcare decision- making. Striking a compromise between these two ethical ideas has been difficult, though (Tseng & Wang, 2021). In the medical setting, if these two ethical precepts clash, the disagreement needs to be resolved to the benefit of the patients and other parties concerned (Tseng & Wang, 2021).
