Abstract: Up to 1982, in Malta there was very little choice available for
persons with advanced renal disease. Some patients went
overseas seeking a transplant abroad. In 1982 the first
haemodialysis was performed, but only on patients who were
scheduled to receive a living donor transplant from a family
member. From 1984 onwards were included young non-diabetic
end-stage renal failure patients who were candidates for a renal
transplant not necessarily from a living-related person.2000-01-01T00:00:00ZIntroduction : patient rightshttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/305942018-06-01T01:25:55Z2000-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Introduction : patient rights
Abstract: A Charter for patient's rights appears to be a minimum benchmark
for us to have in front of us. I believe also that we require a change
in attitude, an attempt to deal with patients as equals and not
merely as dependent inferiors. It is amazing how less frequent
are complaints relating to patients' rights in the private sector where
the question of status and equality is perhaps less obvious.2000-01-01T00:00:00ZConcluding remarkshttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/305932018-06-01T01:25:39Z2000-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Concluding remarks
Abstract: This three day conference organised by the Bioethics Committee
has been the third of its kind. In the past years similar conferences
were held on 'Informed Consent' and last year on 'Bioethics and
the Disabled'. The conference this year was more ambitious
because it tackled three topics. Each topic could in its own right
have been the sole subject for a conference of this nature. The
reason all three topics were held in one conference was because
of the impending demand each is imposing on us in this period.2000-01-01T00:00:00Z
