Code of Medical Ethics and Deontology

Article 8.3 15_ CODE OF MEDICAL DEONTOLOGY - A doctor must never use for their own benefit or that of third parties (unless the health or safety of these is compromised) any information referring to the patient that was obtained in the exercise of their professional activity. A doctor must take special care with the information of the most vulnerable patients. Article 8.4 If a doctor understands that there may be a conflict of interest due to their situation, they must refrain from attending. In this case, it will make it easier for another professional to take charge of the care process. Article 9 An essential element in the doctor-patient relationship is to inform the patient or their relatives of the identity of the doctor responsible for their care process, as well as that of the one who provides care at all times. A doctor must identify themselves. Article 10.1 Providing information to the patient is not a bureaucratic act but a part of the medical act whose duty corresponds to the doctor carrying it out. It is the doctor's duty to respect the patient's right to be adequately informed in each and every one of the phases of the care process. When a patient requests this, a doctor must also respect the patient's decision not to be informed.
