Abstract

The healthcare industry has evolved to a great extent. Facilitating healthcare services and carrying out operational obligations need conscientious and ethical management. The practice of medicine is a shared knowledge that has been gained, perceived, practiced, learned, and comprehended after years of assiduous and diligently seeking of knowledge along with the evolutionary process and hence cannot be assumed or entitled by one or group of individuals. Healthcare services belong to everyone and hence stewardship of resources for patient care and community health is of paramount significance. This paper attempts to give a decisive answer to pivotal and indispensable healthcare issues which sometimes permeate as a result of sheer negligence and dereliction of duties. The issues so highlighted have been considered pertinent for the study after a thorough and rigorous literature review.
