About Us
Motto
“Humanity is our patient.”
The “Declaration of Professional Responsibility: Medicine’s Social Contract With Humanity”, adopted by the American Medical Association’s (AMA) House of Delegates in 2001, describes the role of the physician as more than a commitment to the individual patient, but a social contract with humanity, to promote interconnectedness among people.
Physicians and other health professionals must not see themselves as mere technicians with a set of tools to use on the sick; they must also be the custodians, enablers and advocates for health and societal wellbeing. The Preamble to the “Declaration of Professional Responsibility” ends with this simple reminder: “Humanity is our patient.”
