Description
Canada has a proud tradition of making substantial conceptual advances in public health. With the renewed global interest in public health generated by the HlNl pandemic, Canada is poised to make significant contributions to the development of a new public health ethics that is firmly grounded in a commitment to the health of populations and communities and to the reduction of health inequalities. However, we are concerned that this opportunity may be squandered by an inordinate focus on issues of emergency-preparedness to the exclusion of the full range of public health concerns (1,2) and an ongoing reliance on bioethical analysis steeped in the individual rights/autonomy discourse of clinical and research ethics. (3-5) In this paper, we describe some concerns regarding the focus on pandemic ethics in isolation from public health ethics; identify inadequacies in the dominant individualistic ethics framework; and summarize our nascent work on the relational concepts that inform our re-visioning of public health ethics.
