I tweeted my agreement, suggesting that advocating for fit for purpose healthcare systems should also be a moral responsibility for doctors and that there was a case to be made for an amendment to the Hippocratic Oath. This clearly appeared to strike a chord, judging by the number of \u201clikes\u201d and retweets. Here I set out my case in more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Hippocratic Oath is believed to date back to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">between the third and fifth centuries\u00a0BC. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It has had a resonance down the centuries because it speaks with clarity about the obligations of a doctor towards his or her patient, and the duty to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> uphold specific ethical standards, such as those relating to confidentiality and\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Medical_ethics#Non-maleficence\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">non-maleficence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">which remain of paramount relevance to this day. However, i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">t was written at a time when medicine was a transaction between individuals; healthcare systems, services, and the delivery of care by teams did not exist, nor had states and governments accepted they had a role to play. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, matters are very different. Effective preventive health requires action by governments, for example, to ensure their citizens are educated and informed about matters related to health, the air they breathe is clean, the water supply and sewage disposal are safe, and vaccination programmes that benefit not just individuals, but also provide population immunity, are in place. Effective disease treatment also requires more than any individual doctor can provide; for example, at the most straightforward level, a doctor today relies on evidence gathered by very large numbers of people, and the availability of safe, quality-assured medicines and technologies. At the most complex level of disease treatment, major surgery, or the effective management of chronic conditions, team-working, and contributions from a wide range of physicians, surgeons, nurses, allied health professionals, and an extensive array of support staff, are required. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ef<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fective healthcare cannot be delivered alone, but requires well-functioning systems and infrastructure, and an adequate, well-trained workforce. There is also clear scientific evidence of the wider determinants of health. The links between poverty, deprivation, and disadvantage and adverse health are not mere associations, but are causally related. The unavoidable conclusion is that the medical profession has a moral responsibility to advocate for healthcare systems that are effective and efficient, and for good preventive measures, equity of access to care, best use of resources, and societal conditions conducive to health.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In the context of the times, professional leaders in the UK and around the world, and their organisations, would do well to reflect upon whether they are fulfilling this duty of care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Hippocratic Oath as it currently stands addresses only a part of the ethical obligation of today\u2019s doctors, if the wellbeing of patients is truly to be their foremost concern. It is time to update the Hippocratic Oath, to fit it for 21<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> century healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Neena Modi<\/strong> is a p<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rofessor of neonatal medicine, Imperial College London.
