difficult decisions in their daily work. The purpose of this study is to analyze various ethical problems faced by medical

he works. The paper discusses several ethical dilemmas faced by doctors, such as confidentiality and protection of patients'
personal data, principles of fairness and accessibility of medical care, as well as ethical issues that arise when making
