The International Islamic Code for Medical and Health Ethics

Point out the disorder in the moral system and its physical and spiritual criteria. This is particularly important as many theories and principles have emerged, some of which are the product of individual judgment, while others draw on some religions. But the vacuum is still there, especially in the Islamic countries which are privileged by the Quran and the Prophet's Sunnah in addition to the writings of Islamic scholars and thinkers. Thus, an Islamic contribution to the subject of establishing moral rules for scientific research and applications will greatly enrich and enhance this matter on a world scale. The Islamic nation is quite qualified to make this contribution as the subject is in line with the Islamic nature, beliefs, customs, and traditions.

Therefore, it was essential that we bring up the subject, which has been a major point of interest at IOMS since its inception. The organization keeps a close watch of the developments on the scientific arena worldwide with special emphasis on faults or unethical practices that may undermine useful scientific accomplishments. The organization's ultimate goal in this area is to set down a Code based on Islamic Sharia that can light the way for workers in the field of health care.
