Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 115
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Education in the health-care sector is one important element in that regard. The doctrine of the "five star doctor" needs to be reaffirmed in the light of translating modern values and scientific evidence into everyday medical practice. Modern medical doctors need to be not only good clinicians but also effective community leaders, communicators, decision makers and managers. That doctrine should be complemented by a strong human rights-based approach and evidence gained from the modern public health approach.
