The National General Assembly of the College of Physicians in Romania has adopted a new Medical Ethics Code, which will come into effect on January 1, 2016. This essential document regulates aspects such as the prohibition of promoting pseudoscientific information, the use of social networks, and the limits of artificial intelligence in medical practice. The new Code is adapted to European standards and addresses current challenges in the health sector, aiming to protect patients and strengthen public trust in the medical profession.
Among the important provisions are the obligation of physicians to respect the principles of evidence-based scientific medicine and the prohibition of using professional authority to promote unverified information. Additionally, the Code regulates telemedicine and emphasizes the importance of palliative care for patients at the end of life. The new Code reaffirms the independence of the physician and protects the dignity of the profession, establishing clear rules for public communication and medical advertising. The adoption of this Code represents an essential step in modernizing the College of Physicians and improving public perception of the medical profession.
