In the last few decades rapid development has been observed in the field of healthcare. Now with the help of the diagnostic tools it is now easy to to diagnose any disease more accurately and at a faster rate than before. With te advancement in healthcare system there are some ethical and dilemas that should be kept in mind by all the practitioners. The first ethical aspect that should be kep in mind is patient confidentiality and privacy. When the patient shares anything related to his mental or physical health then it the responsibility of the doctors or nurses to keep the secret and if they have to share the information for the betterment of the patient then that should also be done by taking the patient into confidence. Other ethical dilemma which is very important is the relationships between patients nad healthcare providers. Sexual harassment can be harmful for the healthcare providers and to be involved in any unethical relationship is strongly prohibited for the healthcare practitioners and the code of the ethics is very explicit about this. The other most important ethical perspective is related to terminaly ill patients. Such patients have specific wishes about the way they want to end their life ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"uhGWgwdH","properties":{"formattedCitation":"\\super 1\\nosupersub{}","plainCitation":"1","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":30,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/aFLg5zv9/items/2RL48BUR"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/aFLg5zv9/items/2RL48BUR"],"itemData":{"id":30,"type":"article-journal","title":"Ethical and legal issues in medical practice","container-title":"Indian Journal of Urology : IJU : Journal of the Urological Society of India","page":"335-336","volume":"25","issue":"3","source":"PubMed Central","DOI":"10.4103/0970-1591.56191","ISSN":"0970-1591","note":"PMID: 19881127\nPMCID: PMC2779956","journalAbbreviation":"Indian J Urol","author":[{"family":"Thomas","given":"Joseph"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2009"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} 1.

Families also find it tough to end life support for their loved ones. So in such cases the healthcare providers should be prepared to handle such issues. If by any case the healthcare providers leak the information without the consent of the patient then the patients can sue the doctor or the hospital as a whole. Sexual abuse is another issue where atrong laws are present toi protect the patienmt or to maintain a professional work environment. As far as the end of life issue is concerned then in most of the countries this is strictly forbidden to end the life of an individual. If any doctor do this even by the consent of the patient then the doctor is liable to 14 years of imprisonment. There are only a few countries where the legislation has approved this method but in rest of the world it is forbidden by the law ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"RCCjAJ0B","properties":{"formattedCitation":"\\super 1\\nosupersub{}","plainCitation":"1","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":30,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/aFLg5zv9/items/2RL48BUR"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/aFLg5zv9/items/2RL48BUR"],"itemData":{"id":30,"type":"article-journal","title":"Ethical and legal issues in medical practice","container-title":"Indian Journal of Urology : IJU : Journal of the Urological Society of India","page":"335-336","volume":"25","issue":"3","source":"PubMed Central","DOI":"10.4103/0970-1591.56191","ISSN":"0970-1591","note":"PMID: 19881127\nPMCID: PMC2779956","journalAbbreviation":"Indian J Urol","author":[{"family":"Thomas","given":"Joseph"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2009"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} 1 .
