Announces
Conclave on “Legal and Ethical Challenges in Healthcare Ecosystem”
18th
to 20th
May, 2017 at Manekshaw Convention Centre,
New Delhi, India
Modern hospital is a matrix organization, an amalgam of social, architectural and technological advancements. Healthcare
industry is growing rapidly but the core ingredients such as care, compassion, empathy, trustworthiness and ethical
considerations are losing their fabric. We live in a well-informed society, where patients, relatives, and others are inclined to
question healthcare providers when medical outcomes are not acceptable. Ethics is considered a standard of behaviour and a
concept of right and wrong in any situation. The primary principles of ethics include beneficence, non-malfeasance, justice
and respect for autonomy. There are legal and ethical dilemmas associated with delivery of healthcare. It is imperative for
healthcare professionals to be well conversant with law and ethics - the pillars of healthcare ecosystem. The evolving
technologies pose new challenges every day to the established tenets of medical practice. These challenges often involve
social issues and ethical dilemmas with decisions affecting life and its continuity. Recent issues include reproductive rights,

2. fetal health, stem cell research, euthanasia, DNR and confidentiality of records in cyber domain. Healthcare professionals
need to be concerned about how law and ethics impact not only their respective professions, but also how these issues affect
the consumers and society at large. Spiralling cost of healthcare leads to questions regarding availability, accessibility,
affordability and equitable distribution of healthcare resources. It is thus the felt need of the hour to introspect and deliberate
on these much relevant contemporary legal and ethical issues.
Against this backdrop, Research Foundation of Hospital and Healthcare Administration (RFHHA) in collaboration with
Department of Hospital Administration, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi is organizing a three-day Conclave
on “Legal and Ethical Challenges in Healthcare Ecosystem” from 18th
to 20th
May, 2017 at Manekshaw Convention
Centre, New Delhi. The conclave will open up new vistas for formulating SOPs for respective organizations. It will also
address contentious ethical and legal issues related to healthcare and facilitate the stake holders for framing appropriate
policies and guidelines. We are sanguine this conclave will be an important melting pot for exchange of ideas and sharing of
practical experiences.
Your participation and deliberation will be of academic value to the experts and delegates.
