Pediatrics: Social, Ethical and Legal

Pediatrics: Social, Ethical and Legal — Expert Reference

How it begins

El niño no es solo un paciente biológico: es un ser humano en desarrollo, inmerso en un contexto social, portador de derechos, y sujeto a decisiones que otros toman por él. Esta referencia aborda exhaustivamente los determinantes sociales de la salud infantil, los dilemas éticos que singularizan la medicina pediátrica, y el marco normativo que rige la práctica clínica con menores.
