TheCodeofMedicalEthicscan elucidateasasetofethicalregulations containingcommandsandprohibitions fordoctorstocarryouttheirprofession. BioethicswasintroducedbyFritzJahr andthenpopularizedbyPotterin1971. Bioethicsisabranchofsciencethat continuestogrowalongwiththe dynamicsofvariousscientifcfelds, includingthehealthsector.
Ethicalproblemsinthehealth sectorareconstantlyevolvingand oftenraiseethicaldilemmasthatare noteasytosolve. Thenuancesofthe healthlawarealsoverythickinhealth serviceswithobligationsthatmustbe donebypeopleinvolvedinitwho,if notcarefulinacting,willbevulnerable todemandsandlawsuits.Therefore,it isessentialtounderstandtheethical andlegalprinciplesinthemedical professionsothattheseclaimsand casescanbeeluded.Inmedicalethics, theissuesthatarisearemainlyrelated tothegoalsoftreatment,critical refectiononaction,anddeveloping autonomyindecision-makingwithinthe scopeofpatients,doctors,andother partiesinvolvedinthesystemof medicalpractice.Incomparison,clinical ethicsisnarrowertoaclinicaldegree,a practicalbranchthatprovidesa structuredapproachtoidentify,analyze, andsolveethicalissuesinclinical practice. Theprinciplesofbioethicsapply ethicalprinciplesinmedicineand health. Appliedmedicalethicsis dividedintotwobroadcategories: Principlism,prioritizingethical principlesinacting. Thiscontext includesnormativeethics,thefour basicmoralprinciples, of libertarianism,andbenefcencein trust.Theprimarybasisofthe principleisthatchoosingoneofthe

However,thebasicmoralrules, alongwithethicaltheoryandethical systematics,whichcontainfundamental ethicalvalues,arethefoundationofthe nobleprofessionofmedicine.Thereare fourmainmoralprinciplesinmedical work,namely:
Theprincipleofbenefcenceisa moralobligationtoactfor goodnessorbeneftothers. This principleisdrawntoclarifyor convinceoneselfandismorewidely acceptedasanappropriategoalof medicine.Theapplicationofthe principleofbenefcenceisnot absolute.However,thereareseveral examplesoftheapplicationofthis principleofgoodwill,asfollows: protectingandsafeguardingthe rightsofothersandpreventingharm thatcouldbefallothers.
Theprincipleofnon-malefcence prohibitsactionsthatharmor worsenotherpeople'ssituations. Thecodeofnon-malefcenceisoften discussedinthemedicalfeld, especiallyincontroversialcases relatedtocasesofterminalillness, seriousillness,andsevereinjury.This principleplaysavitalroleinmaking aperson'sdecisiontomaintainor endanotherperson'slife(patient). Theprincipleofautonomyisused inanindividualconditionwith variousmeanings,suchastheright tobefree,personalchoice, freedomofdesire,andbeing oneself. Theprimarypurposeof individualautonomyisaperson's ruleofoneselfthatisfreefrom interferencefromothersandfrom

InSeptember2022,Iparticipated inaone-monthSCOPEexchangein Indonesia.Ayearearlier,Idecidedto applyforitbecause Iwantedto experiencethehealthcaresystemin anon-Europeancountry. Additionally, Iamverycurioustogettoknow differentcountriesandcultures.WhenI applied,IchosetheUniversitasGadjah MadainYogyakartabecauseitisoneof thebestuniversitiesinIndonesia.Afew weeksbeforetheSCOPEExchange started,Ireceiveddetailsaboutthe exchange,myaccommodation,andthe contactinfooftheLEOofUGM,Raiqa. Theinformationwasveryhelpful,and Raiqacouldanswerallmyquestions.
IenteredIndonesiaviaJakarta, whereIstayedfortwodays.InJakarta, IvisitedMonas,thenational monument.Youcangouptothetop andhaveanimpressiveviewof Jakarta'sSkyline.Onthegroundfoor ofMonas,theyhaveanexhibitionof Indonesianhistory,anditwasvery interestingtolearnaboutthehistory directlyatthebeginningofmy exchange.FromJakarta,Itookatrain toBandung,andIvisitedthefamous foatingmarketsofLembangandthe valleyaroundKawahPutih.Asthetrain systeminJavaisreallygood,Icould
takeatrainagaintogotoYogyakarta. AttheYogyakartatrainstation,Igot pickedupbyRaiqaandbroughttomy accommodationforthenextmonth.I stayedina"KostPutri,"astudentdorm forwomen.Thedormincludeda bathroom,sharedkitchen,andwashing machine.Thedormlocationwas perfect,asIcouldwalktothehospital, anditislocatedinPogung,the "studentquarter"ofYogyakarta. WhentheSCOPEExchange offciallystarted, theUGMstudents organizedafun,welcomingpartyfor alltheincomingstudents. Ienjoyed gettingtoknowIndonesianmedical students,anditwasnicetolearnabout theirmedicalstudies.
IchoseAnesthesiaasthe departmentformySCOPEExchange, andmysupervisor,dr.Erlanggashowed mearoundthehospitalRSUPDr. Sardjitotheentirefrstday.Ingeneral, thedepartmentofAnesthesiaanddr.

Inconclusion, doingtheSCOPE ExchangeinIndonesiawasthebest decisionI'veevermade! Indonesiais anextremelybeautifulcountry,butthe peopleyoumeettherearethemost beautiful.Tosumup,itwasaonce-in-alifetimeexperienceIwillneverforget about.

Theprocessofenrollinginthis programwasn'tthesimplestever.Iwas turneddownthreetimesuntilIwas fnallyacceptedinthesecondextended batchandassignedtoPoland.Forno particularreason,Polandwasn'tmyfrst choiceofcountry,butnowthatI've beenaccepted,I'mfortunateIwasable tovisitoneofEurope'smostdevout nations.Notjustbecauseofthenation asawholebutalsobecauseofhow wonderfulthePolishpeopleareand howkindtheyaretoeveryone. Additionally,Polandhasdistinctive historicalstructuressetitapartfromthe restofEurope.Asafrst-timevisitorto Europe,theweatherwassomagnifcent thatIarrivedjustassummerwasabout toend.
Thejourneytothedayofmy departurewassoremarkablethatIgot toexperiencealltheprocessesthatI
neededtopreparebeforeleavingmy homecountry.Nottomentionthatmy bestfriendandIgottoexperienceit together.Therewere14incomingsin ourLCinŁódźthatwenttothesame periodfortheprogram.Theywerefrom variousnations,mostofwhichwerein Europe,includingSerbia,Portugal, Spain,Greece,Bulgaria,andtwoguys werefromAlgeriaandTunisia.There werejustthreeofusfromIndonesia,all ofwhomwerefriendsfromthesame universityandacademicyear.They wereallthekindestfolksIhaveever met.Thefourweekswentinablinkof aneyebecauseweappreciateeach other'scompanyandhowweshare everylittlethingaboutourselves, whetherourpersonalitiesorourhome countries.Thesequalitiesallowedusto bondwithinonlyashortamountof time.
