Beneficial Coercion in Psychiatric Care: Insights from African Ethico ‐Cultural System
Abstract
There is a ‘catch 22’ situation about applying coercion in psychiatric care. Autonomous choices undeniably are rights of patients. However, emphasizing rights for a mentally‐ill patient could jeopardize the chances of the patient receiving care or endanger the public. Conversely, the beneficial effects of coercion are difficult to predict.
Thus, applying coercion in psychiatric care requires delicate balancing of individual‐rights, individual well‐being and public safety, which has not been achieved by current frameworks. Two current frameworks may be distinguished: the civil liberty approach and the Sto...

The Patient ‐Worker: A Model for Human Research Subjects and Gestational Surrogates
Abstract
We propose the ‘patient‐worker’ as a theoretical construct that responds to moral problems that arise with the globalization of healthcare and medical research.

Further, these participants are patient‐like insofar as they are beneficiaries of fiduciary relationships with healthcare professionals. We apply the patient‐worker model to human subjects research and commercial gestational surrogacy. In human subjects research, subjects are usually characterized as either patients ...

Social Responsibility and the State's Duty to provide Healthcare: An Islamic Ethico ‐Legal Perspective

According to UNESCO, this obligation is grounded in a moral commitment to promoting fundamental human rights and emerges from the principle of social responsibility. Yet in an era of ethical pluralism and contentions over the universality of human rights conventions, the extent to which the UNESCO Declaration ...

A Look at Uganda's Early HIV Prevention Strategies Through a Moderate ‘African’ Communitarian Lens
Abstract
This paper seeks to highlight the benefits of prioritizing moderate African communitarian principles as partly demonstrated in the HIV prevention strategies implemented in Uganda in the late 1980s. Pertinent lessons could be drawn so as to achieve the HIV prevention targets envisioned in the post‐2015 development era. Communitarianism emphasizes the importance of communities as part of healthy human existence. Its core ethical values include the virtues of generosity, compassion, and solidarity. Persuasion through communication, consensus through dialogue, and the awareness and commitment to responsibilities tow...

Application of Ethical Principles to Research using Public Health Data in The Global South: Perspectives from Africa

We further argue for the development of a framework founded on the discussions and recommendations as a minimum base for achieving optimal ethics for optimal RUPD in the Global South.
