Ethical Issues in Public Health Introduction Ethics in public health can be defined as those parameters that make the principles and norms that guide public health practice besides functioning as a means of identifying analyzing and resolving any issues that may contravene such provisions in the practice of public health (Glanz Bishop 2010).Public health ethics provides a medium that makes it possible to achieve social good for the general population without violating individual rights and appreciating how individuals in the society depend on one another (Calhoun Ramiah Weist Shortell 2008). In practice public health practitioners face dilemma situations that they have to decide on daily without hindering the provision of public health. Such considerations constitute ethical issues in public health that must be addressed appropriately to ensure the success of both government and the practitioner in providing the required services (Glanz Bishop 2010). This paper seeks to highlight on instances of practitioners making decisions on behalf of the community. The success of public health care largely depends on the participation of the community and the practitioners. ReferencesBuchanan D. R. (2008).
