摘要

在一些卫生机构，那里雇佣的医生和护士拒绝治疗新冠肺炎患者，尽管他们已经获得了必要的个人防护设备（PPE）。这种行为似乎违反了世界医学协会《国际医学道德守则》、国际护士理事会《护士道德守则》和南非卫生专业理事会《行为规则》、南非护理理事会、《南非宪法》的一些规定以及相关劳动法。根据道德和法律考虑，向雇主提供如何处理这种情况的指导。

COVID-19: What should employers do if employed health professionals such as doctors and nurses refuse to treat COVID-19 patients despite being provided with the required personal protective equipment?

At some health establishments doctors and nurses employed there are refusing to treat Covid-19 patients - even though they have been provided with the necessary personal protection equipment (PPE). Such conduct would appear to be in breach of the World Medical Association International Code of Medical Ethics , the International Council of Nurses Code of Ethics for Nurses , the Rules of Conduct of the Health Professions Council of South Africa, the South African Nursing Council, some of the provisions of the South African Constitution and of the relevant labour legislation. Guidance is provided to employers on how to deal with the situation based on ethical and legal considerations.
