Description
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a multitude of controversial medico-legal issues. The issues range from the rationing of healthcare, standards to be applied, and issues dealing with vaccination. As COVID-19 variants continue their assault against us, never have the framework of medical and ethical principles been more challenged and tested to the extent that we are seeing today.
In this webinar, we explore the challenges faced, with guidance taken from some insightful cases that have arisen not only from the current pandemic, but also from past epidemics that have occurred in various parts of the world
