Medicine is a powerful science, able to save, change and improve countless lives. But, as the current pandemic, the health and well-being of individuals is not dependent only on effective medical interventions.
Human life, patients’ response to treatments and the patient-physician relationship all involve a range of values that are outside the immediate scope of the medical science. The integration of humanities, traditionally engaged with the exploration of such human values, in healthcare recognises and emphasises the importance of such values for the medical act, and provide for a more balanced relatiohship between patient and physicians’ interventions.
