The Research Note by Kuriakose S* in “Health Care Ethics Informed Consent, Quality of Life, and Full Disclosure” mentions that the ethics of health care has acquired an importance that was not appreciated in the past. A patient has the individual right to decide his care and what measures can be taken. Doctors and health institutions, including all interested areas, they must respect these rights, including informed consent, the patient’s desire for their specific quality of life, and their acceptance of not prolonging the treatment. Informed disclosure remains the ethical standard that providers should continue to allow patients to decide how to precede in terms of their own health care. The ethics of health care requires that patients be equal partners with their medical providers when deciding the future of your health care. This article focuses on the most common aspects of health care ethical dilemmas and the appropriate mechanisms to address them.

Two opinions are included; one of them is “Back to Medical Ethics” by Welles JF. Where the idea is that the conscience of the doctor replaces insurance companies in terms of deciding which treatment it will be provided. Let’s put the “should” back in medicine. Another one opinión by Karaosmanoglu HK in “Did the COVID-19 Pandemic Makes Scientists Forget ‘Primum Non-Nocere’, One of the Most Important Principles Of Bioethics?” where it concludes the most crucial principle taught in medical ethics It is “Primum non-nocere (first, no harm)”, avoid harm to patients. Science, scientific endeavors over the centuries, and the experiences gained must be one of the principles of the fight against the pandemic. It is the duty of all scientists to apply strategies for the rational use of drugs, even with him pandemic process, and expose efforts for it. Drug administration during the pandemic is more challenging.

The Covid-19 pandemic and other disruptions have transformed the delivery of care in different areas. Which changes will be permanent and which are temporary?.
