Expanding the Hippocratic Oath

The emphasis of protecting patients embodied in the Hippocratic Oath is proposed to be expanded to all sectors of health care. Partnerships between the industry and government are also encouraged to preserve the traditional values of medicine. Ironically, the modern system is more absorbed in medical innovations while the health of many children continue to deteriorate. Government policy is also more oriented towards the military whereas politicians continually give false promises of improved health care.
