Medical profession involves not just the relationship between a clinician and a patient, and relationship with colleagues and other health professionals but it also involves a relationship with society.

Clinicians are also called upon to play a major role in the allocation of society’s scarce healthcare resources, and sometimes they have a duty to prevent patients from accessing services to which they are not entitled.

When clinicians have responsibility and are accountable both to their patients and to a third party and when these responsibilities and accountabilities are incompatible, they find themselves in a situation of dual loyalty.

Dual loyalty is when clinicians have responsibility and accountability both to their patients and third party.

Third parties that demands clinicians’ loyalty include governments, employers, insurers, military officials, police, prisons officials and family members including the law.

It is generally accepted that medical practitioners may in exceptional situations have to place the interests of others above those of the patient

The ethical challenge is how and when to protect the patient and face the pressure from third parties.

At one end of spectrum are requirements for mandatory reporting of patients who suffer from designated diseases such as cholera and HIV although patients should be informed that such reporting will take place.

Justice entails a more social approach to the distribution of resources, one that considers the needs for other patients.

According to this approach, clinicians are responsible not just for their own patient but, to a certain extent, for others as well.

In circumstances where a choice must be made between potential patients for a particular treatment which is in limited supply, all such patients are entitled to a fair selection procedure for that treatment.

That choice must be based on medical criteria and made without discrimination.

One way clinicians can exercise their responsibility for the allocation of resources is by avoiding wasteful and inefficient practices, even when patients request them to do so.

The overuse of antibiotics is just one example of a practice that is both wasteful and harmful.

Clinicians have a moral responsibility to advocate for expansion of these resources where they are insufficient to meet patient’s needs.

This usually requires that clinicians work together, in their professional association, to convince decision makers in government and elsewhere of the existence of these needs and how best to meet them.

Public health measures such as vaccination campaigns and emergency responses to outbreaks of contagious diseases are important factors in the health of individuals but social factors such as housing, nutrition and employment are equally significant.

Clinicians can contribute, even if indirectly, to long term solutions of health problems by participating in public health and health education activities, monitoring and reporting environmental hazards.

Clinicians should attempt to find ways to minimize any harm that individual patient may suffer as a result of meeting public health requirements.

When reporting is required, the patient’s confidentiality should be protected to the greatest extent possible while fulfilling the legal requirement.
