1. Principle of primacy of patient welfare.

The principle is based on a dedication to serving the interest of the patient. Altruism
contributes to the trust that is central to the physician-patient relationship. Market forces, societal pressures, and administrative
exigencies must not compromise this principle.

2. Principle of patient autonomy.

Physicians must have respect for patient autonomy. Physicians must be honest with their patients

and empower them to make informed decisions about their treatment. Patients’ decisions about their care must be paramount, as
long as those decisions are in keeping with ethical practice and do not lead to demands for inappropriate care.

3.Principle of social justice.

The medical profession must promote justice in the health care system, including the fair distribution
of health care resources. Physicians should work actively to eliminate discrimination in health care, whether based on race, gender,
socioeconomic status, ethnicity, religion, or any other social category.
