What ethical obstacles affect how the medical community addresses the issue?

Conflict of interests is one ethical issue that impacts how medical professionals address the problem. Doctors may not recommend certain treatments or drugs if pharmaceutical companies pay them for the prescription. There can also be conflicts between public health measures such as vaccination mandates and patient rights. This could result in some doctors refusing to treat certain patients.

The allocation of resources is another ethical problem. Healthcare resources are limited, and it’s up to us who receives them first. We also have to decide which treatments or patients should get the priority. It can lead to situations in which not all patients can receive the care they require due to financial considerations or others. It can also be difficult to strike a balance between patient autonomy and doctor discretion when making decisions about end-of-life healthcare.
