HISTORICAL GENESIS OF MORAL AND ETHICAL REGULATION OF MEDICAL PROFESSION

Summary/Abstract: Moral and ethical regulation of the medical profession is an essential component of modern medicine. Its historical origins date back to the ancient times, when fundamentals of understanding this profession, its role and authority in society were laid. Moral principles and professional culture in general express the requirements developed by human society in ancient times, the times of antiquity, Renaissance and modern times, relating to the ethical nature of a doctor and his profession. Every epoch has formed its own criteria of morality and ethics, its own set of rules of behaviour and moral, understanding of vocation and commitment. Medical ethics has become an integrative science, which absorbed the knowledge of the activities of a doctor from sociology, anthropology, ethics, philosophy, biology and so on.
