Ethical Dilemma in Clinical Setting's in Nigeria

In clinical settings across Nigeria, healthcare professionals frequently encounter ethical dilemmas that challenge their commitment to providing quality care while navigating cultural, social, and resource constraints.
These dilemmas often arise from conflicts between competing ethical principles, cultural beliefs, legal obligations, and resource scarcity.

Examples include balancing patient autonomy with family decision-making, managing limited resources during crises, respecting confidentiality while safeguarding public health, navigating end-of-life care preferences, and confronting corruption and bribery.

Addressing these dilemmas requires healthcare providers to apply ethical frameworks, engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, and uphold professional integrity to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients while navigating the complex healthcare landscape in Nigeria.
