Abstract

Although medical confidentiality is widely recognized as an essential principle in the therapeutic relationship, its systematic and coherent practice has been an ethically challenging duty upon healthcare providers due to various concerns of clinical, moral, religious, social, ethical and legal natures. Medical confidentiality can be breached to protect the patient and/or others if maintaining confidentiality causes serious harm. Healthcare professionals may encounter complicated situations whereby the divulgence of a patient's confidential information may pose a threat to one party whereas the concealment of such information may cause harm to another. After deliberating on the Islamic concept of harm (ḍarar), this paper focuses on the dual duty and conflicts of interests faced by healthcare professionals in the practice of medical confidentiality. Referring to serious infectious diseases with a special mention of AIDS, this study also provides discourse on how healthcare professionals deal with difficult scenarios of conflicts of interests and ethical dilemmas.

关于医疗保密中伤害与伤害情景的伊斯兰法理学。
尽管医疗保密被广泛认为是治疗关系中的一项基本原则,但由于临床、道德、宗教、社会、伦理和法律等多方面的原因,医疗保密的系统性和连贯性一直是医疗服务提供者面临的一项具有伦理挑战的职责。如果保密会对患者和/或他人造成严重伤害,那么为了保护患者和/或他人,可以违反医疗保密原则。医护人员可能会遇到复杂的情况,泄露病人的机密信息可能会对一方造成威胁,而隐瞒此类信息则可能会对另一方造成伤害。在讨论了伊斯兰教的伤害(ḍarar)概念后,本文重点探讨了医护人员在医疗保密实践中面临的双重责任和利益冲突。本研究还以严重传染病(特别是艾滋病)为例,论述了医护人员如何处理利益冲突和伦理困境。
