| description | In order to perform duties excellently and deliver services to others efficiently and ethically, and to avoid inflicting of
harms to them, specialists, employers, employees and workers of every profession must follow certain ethics. The
profession of medical doctors is not an exception. Sometimes non-compliance of medical doctors with ethics causes
severe harms to their patients. Islam prescribes sets of ethics for all professions including the profession of medical
doctors. Analyzing relevant verses of the Qur’an and ahadith of the Prophet (p. b. u. h.), this paper intends to discuss
the code of medical ethics in Islam. Likewise, it aims to evaluate the code of medical ethics of the Malaysian Medical
Association (MMA) in light of the code of medical ethics in Islam. Finally, it strives to provide some suggestions to
improve the code of medical ethics of MMA. This paper may conclude that Islam has a comprehensive code of
medical ethics; and in order to make a comprehensive code of medical ethics, the code of medical ethics of MMA
requires some improvement and modification. |
