The MSQH would ensure that it will subscribe
to the following core ethical values:
Transparency: The Society will
be able to justify its decisions openly and
without hesitation as its decisions will be
based on its own written standards without
compromising professional interests or favouring
any particular party.
Fairness: The Society interacts
with health facilities in the public, private
and university sectors. It will perform its
functions while being fully cognisant of the
strengths and weaknesses of any particular
sector. It will be guided by the sole intention
of ensuring what is best for the interests of
the patient who seeks care in any particular
health facility.
Respect, honesty, integrity & trust:
All office bearers, councillors, surveyors and
employees will demonstrate and emphasise the
values of trust, integrity and honesty in all
their activities on behalf of the Society as
well as in their daily lives. By demonstrating
these values, all persons associated with this
society will be respected members of the medical
profession and society. The Society will not
condone any action by any person which could be
demonstrated to mean putting one’s self-interest
above that of the patient and Society.
Teamwork: All persons
associated with the activities of the Society
will have to work together through good
leadership, nurturing human capital, ongoing
consultation and smart partnerships with
standard setting and accreditation agencies for
efficiency and for best results.
Professionalism: There will be
evidence based decision making which effectively
and efficiently meets the needs of all clients
Beneficence: All decisions will
be made for the good and benefit of the patient.
Non-Maleficience: No decisions
will be made which may result in harm to the
patient.
