HPCSA Booklet 1 (Part 1)

HPCSA Booklet 1 sets out the core principles that guide ethical healthcare in South Africa.

It reminds practitioners that care is not only clinical - it is also relational, grounded in dignity, respect, accountability, and compassion.

These values align with our Constitution and the spirit of Ubuntu: a person is a person through other people.

Booklet 1 is the foundation of professional conduct - ensuring that every patient is treated with humanity and integrity, regardless of identity.

Ethics. Equality. Evidence.
