COVID-19: SAMA Guidance for managing Ethical issues (version 1)

The SAMA Human Rights, Law and Ethics (HRLE) Committee has developed the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19): Guidance for Managing Ethical Issues.

This is a detailed guideline, which highlights the duties and obligations of Doctors and provides ethical guidelines for Doctors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although this guideline largely provides ethical guidance for Doctors, the duties and obligations of government and society, in general, are also highlighted.

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19): Guidance for Managing Ethical Issues is available in two formats: An abridged version below, for ease of reading.

However, the abridged version should be read together with the full comprehensive guideline, which is also attached here, but will soon be made available under the Governance and Legal tab, as well as on the COVID-19 main page.

Please find more information and clinical guidelines on the SAMA COVID-19 web page, as well as a contact submission form. https://www.samedical.org/covid-19/main
