COVID-19’s Impact on Ethical Care
COVID-19’s Impact on Ethical Care
The unforeseen and exceptional challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic have placed a substantial strain on healthcare resources. Among the numerous ethical dilemmas brought to the forefront by this pandemic, one of the most significant is the potential necessity for healthcare systems to allocate limited critical care resources and modify treatment approaches for both urgent and routine medical issues. In doing so, they must carefully balance considerations of distributive justice and the protection of patients and healthcare professionals on one side, and individual benefit and autonomy on the other.
