Medical Technology Code of Ethics

(written by: Mr. Nardito Moraleta)

Upon entering into the practice of medical technology let it be known that;
I accept the responsibilities associated with my duties.
I shall uphold the ideals of my profession.
I am aware that since the physician relies upon my work in the diagnosis and treatment
of diseases, any error may affect the health or even the life of the patient. Every
procedure and observation therefore must be carried out with absolute reliability,
accuracy, fairness, and honesty.
I am aware of the need for mutual understanding and cooperation among my fellow
workers in the medical and paramedical field in the pursuance of a worthy cause.
I shall strive to preserve the integrity of myself and the professionals from whom we
expect the same.
I shall strive to develop necessary virtues needed in my work and shall place my service
above any other considerations.
I shall restrict my phrases, criticisms, values, and opinions, within constructive limits and
I shall not use the knowledge I know as a tool for my selfish personal ends.
I realize that the knowledge I acquired about any individual in the course of my work
must be treated as confidential. And since the physician has the ultimate responsibility in the
diagnosis and treatment, my result must be known only by him. I shall neither make diagnosis
nor interpretations other than this in the report made by me nor shall I advice the physician or
others on how to treat diseases.

I shall believe in full and equal opportunities in the pursuance of our ideals within the
context of the principles of human rights.
To these principles, I hereby subscribe, promising to conduct myself at all times in a
manner appropriate to the dignity of my profession.
