Declaration of Geneva

The Declaration of Geneva, as currently published by the WMA (World Medical

Association) reads:

At the time of being admitted as a member of the medical profession:

?

I solemnly pledge to consecrate my life to the service of humanity;

?

I will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude that is their due;

?

I will practice my profession with conscience and dignity;

?

The health of my patient will be my first consideration;

?

I

will

respect

the

secrets

that

are

confided

in me,

even

after

the

patient

has died;

?

I will maintain by all the means in

my power, the

honour and the noble

traditions of the medical profession;

?

My colleagues will be my sisters and brothers;

?

I will not permit considerations of age, disease or disability, creed, ethnic

origin,

gender,

nationality,

political

affiliation,

race,

sexual

orientation,

social standing or any other factor to intervene between my duty and my

patient;

?

I will maintain the utmost respect for human life;

?

I

will

not

use

my

medical

knowledge

to

violate

human

rights

and

civil

liberties, even under threat;

?

I make these promises solemnly, freely and upon my honour.

当我成为医学界的一员：

我郑重地保证自己要奉献一切为人类服务。

我将会给予我的师长应有的尊敬和感谢。

我将会凭着我的良心和尊严从事我的职业。

我的病人的健康应是我最先考虑的。

我将尊重所寄托给我的秘密，即使是在病人死去之后。

我将会尽我的全部力量，维护医学的荣誉和高尚的传统。

我的同僚将会是我的兄弟姐妹。
