Re: how would you handle this ethical situation?!?!
hai Allah maine kiya pocha mujhe kiya mila!
Sara.. see public helath workers are totally different than the doctors,, doctor treats the patient where as a public health worker would monitor the community health problems and develop a policy to spread awareness about that problem thus it would be considered a preventive medicine... Thus, the males might allow their women to visit a doctor but they might not allow their women to visit health centers established for their health with the coordination of preventive medicine workers.. ever heard of how polio vaccine was challenged in 2001-2002 and even someone spread this rumor tthat this vaccine might cuase infertility among grls who will be given one in their childhood... How would some one react to this situation? I am pursuing my career in this field but honestly, I am already having hard time dealing with these ethical issues where culture and "log kiya kahain gaye" comes right before the health issues that someone would be dealing with.. I hope i got my point across!
