How to request the intervention of the Bioethics Committee

To request the intervention of the Bioethics Committee, fill out the Bioethics Committee Intervention Request Form. The request is reviewed to verify that it corresponds to a bioethical conflict and an ordinary, extraordinary or urgent review date is assigned. According to the assigned date, it is presented to the committee. The bioethical principles that may be threatened are analyzed, problems involved in the medical care are argued, and a solution to the conflict is proposed.

Once the proposal has been made, a recommendation document is issued and delivered to the interested party as well as to the medical or administrative area involved in the case. It is worth mentioning that all members sign a letter of confidentiality with the understanding that the information handled is not disseminated or used for any other purpose than conflict resolution and improvement of the quality of care.
