What ethics should Muslim medical practitioners uphold according to maqasid al-shariah?

Summary

This Bayan Linnas states that medical ethics for a Muslim is a religious responsibility and not merely professionalism, and that medical progress must go together with Islamic values and principles. Practitioners are expected to uphold ihsan, have good character such as honesty, patience, humility and discipline, and maintain good relations with colleagues through cooperation and consulting more expert practitioners when in doubt. The relationship with patients should also be built on Islamic ethics. Medical knowledge is regarded as important for achieving public benefit as long as it accords with the shariah.
