Brasilia - The Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) published in the Official Gazette today (24) the new Code of Medical Ethics. The main novelty is that doctors are prohibited from recommending patients the use of a product to earn commission from the pharmaceutical industry. In lectures and papers, professionals need to make clear if they receive sponsorship.
Another novelty is the one that forbids doctors to submit to pressure from hospitals and clinics to serve the largest number of patients per day. The CFM resolution also prohibits the creation of embryos for research and choose the sex of the baby in fertility clinics.
According to the new code, the patient is entitled to information about their health and on decisions related to treatment, which must always be taken in partnership with the doctor.
For the president of CFM, Edson de Oliveira Andrade, the code is a reaffirmation of a commitment to address the medical profession with the population. The document is the result of two years of discussion and analysis of organizations and experts
