Human Dignitas, Dignity in Care - A Precious Need

Miguel Julião

We speak too often about dignity. We defend it and teach it. However... The concept of dignity was always one of the central aspects of medicine. To think about the modern concept of dignity - in its many different aspects - is an imperative of modern medicine. It brings us closer to those who suffer, closer to the whole and unique person. Though these approaches may often be fragmented, they nevertheless bring us specifically closer to humanity.
