CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality is one of the core ethical pillars of medical practice. It refers to the obligation of healthcare professionals to protect a patient’s personal, medical, and sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure. 🔐 What is Medical Confidentiality? Medical confidentiality means that any information shared by a patient—including history, diagnosis, test results, and even the fact that they visited a facility—must not be disclosed without their consent.

INFORMED CONSENT

Informed Consent — Quick Summary A patient’s voluntary agreement to a medical procedure after receiving full information Rooted in Medical Ethics, especially autonomy 🔑 Core Elements Disclosure – risks, benefits, alternatives Understanding – patient comprehends information Capacity – mentally able to decide (e.g., not impaired by Delirium) Voluntariness – no coercion Consent – clear agreement
