Abstract

Ethics controlling in medical practice is an important tool for performing a good medical act. Although ethical issues in military medicine have many similarities to civilian issues, the institutional regulations in controlling ethics are the same, the specificity of the military medical field may require the development of customized ethical control tools. In our view, ethics management is a system covering all ethical issues in medical practice. The ethical control mechanisms identified within the ethics management system (ethical regulation, the organism of controlling ethics, or medical agreement - informed consent) have the primary function to create an institutional ethical climate. The institutional mechanisms of controlling ethics are necessary to ensure a high-performance medical act and the implementation of its must be customised to the particularities generated by the context of military activity.
