Code of Medical Ethics and Deontology

43_ CODE OF MEDICAL DEONTOLOGY - Article 36.2 In the case of a supervening objection, the objecting doctor must communicate to the patient in an understandable and reasoned manner his objection to the health care that is being requested. They must also communicate this fact to the person responsible for guaranteeing health care. Article 36.3 Even if the doctor refrains from performing the act to which they objects, in an emergency, the objecting doctor is obliged to treat that person, even if said care is related to the objected action. Article 37 Conscientious objection should not derive any type of prejudice or advantage for the doctor who alleges it. Nor for those doctors who, secondarily, must provide the care refused by the objector.
