Abstract:
In the governance of public health emergencies,different behavioral entities adhere to distinct value orientations and ethical claims in their health practices.In medical practice,there is a conflict between individual health and group risk prevention;in the formulation and implementation of prevention and control of decision-making,there is a conflict between individual autonomy and government intervention;in the distribution of health care resources,there is a conflict between fair distribution and prioritization of distribution.These ethical conflicts are numerous and complex,and they run through the entire governance process of public health emergencies.It is suggested that relevant departments,based on the timeliness of public health emergencies and from the perspectives of responsibility ethics and virtue ethics,strengthen moral awareness while enhancing responsibility,scientifically adjust the relationship of interests between each other,and integrate dispersed responsibilities into collective ethical responsibilities,so that enable members of society to consciously internalize external responsibility requirements into their own ethical code,and make all-out efforts to explore pathways of resolving the conflict.
