Section A
Question 1
a. Discussing two ethics system.
The case study named as 'The deaths I Do Not See' is related with the high mortality rate
of Mozambique and Nacala district. The case study is related with the ethics system which every
medical practitioner should follow. Ethical requirement of medical staff is concerned with the
code of conduct which has to be followed and adopted while conducting medical services. It is
basically associated with the patient safety, dignity, right and healthcare. The case study has been
discussing about two ethics system named as:
 Right Ethics – For medical employees, it is their duty to perform their role by ensuring
optimal safety and care of the patient. Ethical principles in the health care field are related
with:
1. Autonomy – Is related with right of the patient to have retention of control over his own body.
The medical practitioner can only suggest or advice the best medical treatment to patients as per
their disease & it is choice of patient to make a choice in between them.
2. Beneficence – It states that healthcare providers must perform all the necessary acts which can
provides benefit to the patient in every situation. Treatment prescribed should be of good
intention from the patient perspective (Dunn and Hope, 2018).
3. Non – Maleficence – Is based on the principle “To do no harm” to the health of the patient
and that of the society as well. Treatment prescribed by doctors should be of benefiting nature
for the patient only and doesn't create any harm to the other section of the society.
4. Justice - This principle of ethical system focuses on maintaining confidentiality of patient
health condition and disease. Also, it is the right ethic of the medical practitioner to make fair
medical decision and provide the best medical treatment to the patient with available resources.
In the case study, it is the right ethic of doctor to render standard treatment to that girl patient by
making good and effective utilization of available medical resources in the sustainable manner. If
the doctor prescribes an intravenous drip it could help child patient in fast recovery from the
severe condition of diarrhoea.
