Abstract:
The present text intends to draw attention to the need for an efficient ethical
model that should regulate the activity and resource allocation in the healthcare
system, and particularly in granting access to healthcare to families with high
poverty rates, as well as in caring for children. Thus, the paper focuses on an
ethical perspective using the idea of the social responsibility of organizations and
especially of the state as an organization that takes responsibility in the social
field. From an ethical point of view, the social responsibility principle eliminates
the divergences between ethical responsibility and financial responsibility that
may appear in establishing public health policies and in the construction of an
ethical model for service providing and resource allocation. The intention of the
paper is not to propose a model but rather to emphasize the need for creating an
ethical model in the Romanian public health system starting from the National
Strategy and the Report of the presidential committee for analyzing and elaborating
public health policies in Romania.
