Healthcare as a Business – The Ethical Considerations
In recent years, the privatisation of healthcare has led to healthcare institutions being increasingly seen as businesses, rather than medical service providers for the community. In addition to this, with the increasing influence of medical aid companies on clinical practice and medical funding, this is becoming even more apparent.
In this Ethics webinar, the commercialisation of healthcare will be unpacked, and discussion held on the ethical considerations for institution owners, practitioners and patients.
