Code of Medical Ethics

The Quisisana outpatient clinic, based in Ferrara, follows the Code of Medical Ethics approved in 1995 by the National Council of Medical Orders, and bases all care and therapeutic aspects on the principles reaffirmed and validated both nationally and internationally.

The Code of Medical Ethics contains principles and rules that the surgeon and dentist, registered in the professional registers of the Order of Surgeons and Dentists, must observe in the exercise of their profession.

The rights of inpatients are guaranteed by health personnel who inform the patient about the nature of his condition, the diagnosis, the clinical procedures that can be implemented and the possible alternatives to the therapeutic program in line with the principles of informed consent.

In any case, the Accredited Private Hospital of Ferrara pursues the following principles:

• equality
• impartiality
• continuity
• right of choice
• participation
• efficiency and effectiveness

The doctor inspires his professional activity on the principles and rules of professional ethics without being subject to interests, impositions or conditioning of any kind.

The Code, in harmony with the ethical principles of humanity and solidarity and civil subsidiarity, commits the doctor of the Quisisana Private Hospital to the protection of individual and collective health by monitoring the dignity, decorum, independence and quality of the profession. The Code also regulates behaviors assumed outside the professional practice, when they are considered relevant and affecting the dignity of the profession.

The Quisisana clinic immediately adopted the principles established by the Code as a moral duty towards patients and the professionals who work within the renowned facility based in Ferrara.
