Abstract

Although patient care issues will become more complex, the basic ingredients of ethical and legally "safe" medicine will remain-quality medical care buttressed by quality patient-physician relationships. Teaching hospitals and program directors must assist residents in accomplishing these goals. Our successes will lead to further improvement in the quality of patient care and medical education-and hopefully to a better end than the "big crunch" proposed by Hawking.

[A separation of public health ethics from medical ethics].

Until now there are only a few approaches in the German-speaking realm to establish an explicit ethical framework for moral issues of public health--although a need for public health ethics in times of SARS and avian flu is obvious. One deficit of the discussion so far is that there is no systematic separation of medical ethics and public health ethics. Thus, the core and interdisciplinary focus of public health is often not met. However, to frame discussions of moral issues within a specific public health ethics framework seems to be fruitful. This paper deals with the conceptual differences of medical ethics and public health ethics. The discussion helps both applied ethical discourses to sharpen their focus and strengthen their appeal. The author develops and presents a conceptual and normative frame for public health ethics and offers a concise set of ethical principles for the discussion of moral challenges in public health.
