Abstract

Untoward effects can result from the various procedures involved in patients care. Because of its risks and consequences it is very important to determine the causal factors of these events to improve the procedures at stake and be sure to obtain from them the results to be expected. Several recent and somehow disturbing reports about the magnitude and type of these said medical errors, have raised interest to review the subject and phase this problem under the scope of a quality control system, as to prevent its occurrence or mitigate its effects when there is no chance to avoid them properly.

[A separation of public health ethics from medical ethics].

Until now there are only a few approaches in the German-speaking realm to establish an explicit ethical framework for moral issues of public health--although a need for public health ethics in times of SARS and avian flu is obvious. One deficit of the discussion so far is that there is no systematic separation of medical ethics and public health ethics. Thus, the core and interdisciplinary focus of public health is often not met. However, to frame discussions of moral issues within a specific public health ethics framework seems to be fruitful. This paper deals with the conceptual differences of medical ethics and public health ethics. The discussion helps both applied ethical discourses to sharpen their focus and strengthen their appeal. The author develops and presents a conceptual and normative frame for public health ethics and offers a concise set of ethical principles for the discussion of moral challenges in public health.
