Dylematy etyczne w promocji zdrowia

The need to promote health has been recognized for years in highly developed countries. However, these activities may raise ethical dilemmas among health promoters operating within the healthcare system and implementing health policy assumptions. In the practice of health promotion, there are situations in which a moral justification for the actions taken must be found. The aim of this article is to identify areas of health promotion activities that may raise ethical dilemmas among health care sector employees. Another goal is to analyze legal provisions and deontological principles relating to health promotion. The above-mentioned dilemmas often include the issue of violation of human dignity, the feeling of social exclusion and the validity of differentiating health campaigns depending on their addressees. Although there are a number of legal regulations relating to the right to health, there is still an area that goes beyond these frameworks and requires moral obligation.
