Clinical ethics consultation services help healthcare professionals, patients, and families address complex ethical dilemmas in medical settings. These services facilitate discussions about important issues such as patient autonomy, informed consent, end-of-life care, and equitable treatment. These consultations aim to promote ethical decision-making, improve patient care, and foster respect and communication in healthcare institutions by bringing together ethicists, clinicians, and legal experts. Ultimately, they ensure that all voices are heard and that decisions align with ethical principles as well as the wishes of patients and their families.
