Title:Action Without Planning: A Preliminary Liver Transplantation
Author Name:Shams Ul Huda
Synopsis:
Liver transplantation is a very sophisticated and complex surgery requiring both human expertise as well as material resources. The burden of chronic liver diseases (CLD) is increasing due to poor compliance to preventive measures. The only options for patients with CLD are liver transplant, which is expensive and unavailable in public sector hospitals. Each and every medical procedure should follow the ethical principles to maximize its beneficence. In this paper, the author has discussed the violation of ethical principles of 'non-maleficence' in conducting liver transplant with limited resources in public sector hospitals. Author has analyzed the issue of liver transplant with limited resources from the perspectives of administration and the patient. Finally this article has concluded that initiation of such complex procedure with limited resources is against the principle of beneficence and is a violation of deontology theory.
