The subject Ethics in Public Health is based on a general philosophical basis of ethics, anchored in the system of scientific disciplines as part of practical philosophy. Draws attention to the importance of individual freedom from ethical decisions, the need to respect ethical conventions and obligations in a particular society, occupations, and conditions that make a person morally responsible. It specifies the historical moral roots of the Euro-American civilization (Judaism, Antiquity, Christianity) and compares them with others (Islam, Buddhism, Taoism), the development of ethical thinking from the Code of Hammurabi to the postmodern philosophical directions. It emphasizes interconnectedness with ethical medical and direct relationship with ethical health. It dictates the importance of the ethical principles of the fundamental decision and the related procedural principles. It explains the creation of ethical standards (codes) and their distinction from legal norms. It clarifies in detail the principle of justice, especially distributive justice, especially for institutions and especially for individuals, and explains the difference in equitable, libertarian, utilitarian and cummunitarian justice. It presents its influence on the type of solidarity in relation to the system of health care and health policy, describes the principle of subsidiarity. It discusses the ethics of managerial decisions in health care, ethics of health care management and organization, ethics of population research and the importance of ethics committees in the Czech Republic, introduces the most important codes of ethics in health care. It shows the potential impacts on society on the ethical dilemmas of public health (vaccination, epidemic and pandemic measures, allocation of scarce resources, investment in health care, health care management).
The objective of Ethics is to explain and practice students the importance of moral values in the health care system.
