Medical Code of Ethics - Complete Exam Prep Guide

1. Definitions

Medical Ethics is the subject concerned with moral principles governing members of the medical profession in their dealings with each other, their patients, and the State. It is a self-imposed code designed to uphold the noble traditions of the medical profession. Violations, while not always legally punishable, are considered unprofessional and unethical.
  • Parikh's Textbook of Medical Jurisprudence, Forensic Medicine & Toxicology
Medical Etiquette (different from ethics) refers to conventional laws and customs of courtesy among members of the same profession - e.g., not charging a colleague's family, treating colleagues like brothers.
Bioethics (term coined by Fritz Jahr, 1927) is broader - it covers ethical considerations in both biological research (on non-human organisms) and medical research (on humans). It includes animal ethics, environmental ethics, and medical ethics.
  • The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 36th ed. (2026)

2. The Four Core Principles (Beauchamp & Childress Model)

First described in Beauchamp and Childress' Principles of Biomedical Ethics, these four principles are the foundation of all modern medical ethics:
PrincipleMeaningKey Point
AutonomyPatient's own right / own willThe ability to make a rational, uninfluenced decision. Lost in dementia. Basis for informed consent, truth-telling, and confidentiality.
Beneficence"Do good" / fruitful resultHealthcare professionals must take positive steps to benefit the patient - not just avoid harm, but actively do good.
Nonmaleficence"Do no harm" (Primum non nocere)Many consider this the primary duty - more important not to harm than to do good. Prevents over-enthusiastic treatment without adequate evaluation.
JusticeFairness / equitable distributionTreat all patients equally. In research, risks and benefits must be distributed fairly among all subjects. No individual/group should bear an unfair share of research burdens.
The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 36th ed. (2026) / Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, 11th ed.
Nonmaleficence vs. Beneficence (key exam distinction):
  • Nonmaleficence = passive duty NOT to cause harm
  • Beneficence = active duty TO promote good

3. Historical Timeline of Medical Ethics

YearEvent
1750 BCECode of Hammurabi (Babylonia) - earliest documented medical standards
1500 BCESushruta's Oath (Father of Indian Surgery, rhinoplasty)
~200 BCECharaka's Oath - Charaka Samhita (Father of Indian Medicine)
5th c. BCEHippocratic Oath - attributed to Hippocrates ("Father of Medicine & Medical Ethics")
1500 CEUniversity of Wittenberg - first oath-taking for graduating medical students
1803Thomas Percival coins terms "medical ethics" & "medical jurisprudence" - first modern code
1847AMA adopts first code of ethics (based on Percival's work)
1948Declaration of Geneva - WMA's modern Hippocratic Oath
1949International Code of Medical Ethics - WMA, London
2020NMC replaces MCI in India
2022NMC introduces Charaka Oath for white coat ceremony in India
The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 36th ed. (2026)

4. The Hippocratic Oath - Key Points

The oldest code of medical ethics. Key pledges include:
  • "I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients... and never do harm to anyone"
  • Will not prescribe a deadly drug or procure abortion
  • Will not perform surgery (leaves it to specialists)
  • Preserve patient confidentiality - "All that may come to my knowledge... I will keep secret and will never reveal"
  • Will maintain purity of life and art
  • Will not exploit patients sexually
P.C. Dikshit Textbook of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology

5. Declaration of Geneva (1948, amended 1968, 1984, 1994, 2006, 2017)

The WMA's modern version of the Hippocratic Oath. Pledges include:
  • Consecrate my life to the service of humanity
  • The health of my patient will be my first consideration
  • Respect secrets confided in me, even after the patient has died
  • Will not permit considerations of religion, nationality, race, party politics or social standing to intervene between my duty and my patient
  • Maintain the utmost respect for human life from the time of conception
Administered in India on the first day of MBBS admission.

6. Key WMA Declarations (High-Yield for Exams)

DeclarationYearSubject
Declaration of Helsinki1964Ethical principles for human experimentation
Declaration of Sydney1968Declaration of death + organ harvesting for transplantation
Declaration of Oslo1970Therapeutic abortion
Declaration of Tokyo1975Torture (physicians must refuse to participate)
Declaration of Lisbon1981Rights of patients
Declaration of Venice1983Terminal illness
Declaration of Madrid1983Euthanasia is unethical
Declaration of Malta1991Doctor's role with hunger strikers
Declaration of Hamburg1997Supports physicians who refuse to participate in torture
Declaration of Taipei2002Biobanks
Declaration of Chicago2017Quality assurance in medicine
The Essentials of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 36th ed. (2026)

7. Professional Misconduct (MCI/NMC Code)

Also called "infamous conduct" or "disgraceful act." Conduct is judged by professional peers of good repute. The NMC can take action even for acts NOT explicitly listed. Examples:
  • Adultery with a patient
  • Advertisement - cannot publicly display fees except in waiting room/chamber; no unusually large signboards; cannot advertise through pharmaceutical firms
  • Association - cannot accept rebates/commissions for prescribing; cannot own or partner with pharmaceutical firms
  • Abortion - only legal under MTP Act; must not assist unqualified persons
  • Alcohol - must not practice under the influence
  • Practicing under the influence of drugs
Penalties range from a warning notice to erasure of name from the medical register.
P.C. Dikshit Textbook of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology

8. National Medical Commission (NMC) - India

  • Established under NMC Act 2019; came into existence 25th September 2020
  • Replaced the 63-year-old Medical Council of India (MCI)
  • 33 members including one chairman
  • India's apex regulator of medical education and profession
  • Issues the Code of Ethics Regulations that all registered doctors must follow

9. Quick Exam Mnemonics

ABCJ for the 4 core principles: Autonomy, Beneficence, (non-)maleficence (think "C" = care = do no harm), Justice
"Hippocrates → Percival → AMA → WMA" for the chain of ethical codes:
  • Hippocratic Oath (5th c. BCE) → Percival's code (1803) → AMA code (1847) → Declaration of Geneva (1948)
"Primum non nocere" = "First, do no harm" = Nonmaleficence is primary

10. Key Differences - Quick Reference

TermDefinition
Medical EthicsMoral principles governing doctors - duties to patients, colleagues, and state
Medical EtiquetteCourtesy among doctors (professional behaviour toward each other)
BioethicsBroader; covers ethics in all biological/medical research
Medical JurisprudenceApplication of medical knowledge to legal questions
