Ethics and solidarity in Malta's health care

Abstract

The perceived application of the principles of Equity and Solidarity has been amply debated over the years, nationally and internationally, particularly in the context of allocation of resources. It is a consideration of grave concern to various stakeholders. It is of course, significant, that at this moment in time, a time of challenges and changes, nationally and globally, it is addressed from a bioethical dimension. The variation on the theme here is that, given the fact that I am a Pharmacist by vocation, I shall address the bioethical consideration of "Equity and Solidarity in Malta's Health Care" with a pharmaceutical perspective and a patient - centred focus.
