Answer 1

Public health ethics involves a systematic process to clarify,prioritize and justify possible courses of public health action based on ethical principles,values and beliefs of stake holders and scientific and other information.In addition to protecting its citizens from harm caused by others, the state has a particular responsibility for reducing health inequalities and protecting the health of vulnerable groups such as children. public health ethics are also an important consideration at an international level. As a health care manager one should have the responsibility to follow the basic ethical principles such as

justice : the principle of justice assumes impartiality and equality

beneficence: is an ethical principle that addresses the idea that a nurse's action should promote good. doing good is thought of as doing what is best for the patient.

autonomy: the principle of autonomy assumes that individuals have the right to decide how to live their own lives,as long as their actions do not interfere with the welfare of others.

non maleficence:means non harming or inflicting the least harm possible to reach a beneficial outcome.harm and its effects are considerations and part of the ethical decision making process in the NICU

fidelity: health care manager must be faithful to the promises they made as professionals to provide competent,quality care to the patients. As a health care manager follow all these ethical principles.

The social responsibility of health care manager includes 4 fundamental responsibilities

to promote health

prevent illness

to restore health

to alleviate suffering

The health care manager should always be there to promote health to the patient not only by giving adequate care but also proper education should also be given. which means if the patient is having some sort of disease and the patient is recovering from that ,as a health care manager we should instruct them follow the care to promote health by means of good nutrition ,water proper hygiene . prevention of illness is one of the most important responsibility of a health care manager.we all know that "prevention is better than cure" .one should always be kept in mind that to prevent the illness is a better way .to achieve this we have to maintain proper hygiene of ourselves and our surroundings ,proper vaccination should be taken to prevent any sort of infection.if anyone doesn't know about that teach all these.the other responsibility of a health care manager is to decrease the suffering of the people. if a patient is affected by some sort of disease then the health care manager should always be with them to make their problem to less severe. no one should always be healthy at all time. sometimes they will be affected with diseases.the biggest issue that a health care manager face during their work time is that long working hours. if a person is dedicated to their profession then long working hours is not a problem for them.but suffering behind each and every health care manager to make a patient more healthier is negligible.the staff work for the welfare of the patient or wellness of the patient is a day and night process.to give care is god grace.but for that grace they are working more....The health care manager should focuses on promoting population benefit and promoting equity at the population level- how doe the intervention affect the overall burden of health and illness in the society
