The Israeli Medical Association, which represents the doctors’ union in Israel, has sent a letter to hospital directors regarding the treatment of patients who are Hamas militants. The letter emphasized that doctors have a duty to treat all patients, regardless of their identity or affiliation.
This letter was prompted by protests in medical institutions when Hamas militants were being treated. It reminded hospitals that providing medical care during armed conflicts is a requirement according to the ethics rules of the Israeli Medical Association. The primary consideration should be the patient’s health condition, rather than their background.
The Ethics Department pointed out that this approach aligns with international conventions, declarations, and Israeli law. Despite the crimes committed by Hamas, doctors are obligated to provide necessary medical assistance to ensure that the legal system can bring them to justice.
The letter serves as a reminder to healthcare professionals that their duty to treat patients, even under difficult circumstances, is a fundamental ethical principle that must be upheld. By upholding these standards, doctors can maintain the integrity of the medical profession and ensure that patient care remains a top priority.
