Ethics plays a foundational role in healthcare, shaping the principles and practices that guide interactions between providers, patients, and institutions. As healthcare directly impacts human lives, ethical decision-making is essential to ensure trust, fairness, and accountability within the system. Ethical discussions encourage professionals to evaluate the consequences of their actions, align with core professional values and prioritise patient well-being above all else. In an increasingly complex healthcare landscape, where technology, policy, and business interests intersect, these conversations help maintain a moral compass amid competing pressures.
One of the most pressing ethical concerns in healthcare is the persistent issue of fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). These practices not only lead to significant
financial losses but also compromise the quality and accessibility of care. Fraudulent billing, unnecessary procedures, and the misallocation of resources erode public trust and strain already limited healthcare systems. Addressing FWA through an ethical lens ensures that healthcare professionals remain committed to transparency, stewardship, and justice. Open discussions about ethics empower organisations to implement preventive measures, encourage a culture of accountability, and protect the interests of both patients and the broader community.
