The current Hippocratic Oath is “perverse”, said İnönü University Rector Ahmet Kızılay, and announced that the school of medicine would revise the ancient text to “protect social and family values”, conservative newspaper Yeni Akit reported on Tuesday.
Kızılay said the current version of the oath was used as a vehicle to spread “certain ideological viewpoints”, Yeni Akit said.
Physicians already promise to serve without discrimination, Kızılay said, adding, “The purpose of the Hippocratic Oath is for physicians to promise that they will conduct their profession with sacrifice.”
