At the time of being admitted as a member of the medical
profession:

| solemnly pledge myself to consecrate my life to the service of
humanity;

| will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude which is their
due;

| will practice my profession with conscience and dignity;
The health of my patient will be my first consideration;

| will respect the secrets which are confided in me, even after the
patient has died;

| will maintain by all the means in my power, the honor and the
noble traditions of the medical profession;

My colleagues will be my brothers;

| will not permit considerations of religion, nationality, race, party
politics or social standing to intervene between my duty and
my patient;

| will maintain the utmost respect for human life; even under
threat, | will not use my medical knowledge contrary to the
laws of humanity.

| make these promises solely, freely and upon my honor.

Adopted by the General Assembly of the World Medical
Association at Geneva in 1948 and amended by the 22nd World
Medical Assembly at Sydney in 1968, the Declaration of Geneva
was one of the first and most important actions of the Association.
It is a declaration of a physician's dedication to the humanitarian
goals of medicine, a declaration that was especially important in
view of the medical crimes which had just been committed in Nazi
Germany. The Declaration of Geneva was intended to update the
Oath of Hippocrates, which was no longer suited to modern
conditions. Of interest is the fact that the World Medical Asso-
ciation considered this short Declaration to be a more significant
statement of medical ethics than the succeeding International
Code of Medical Ethics. The words in italics were added to the
Declaration in 1968.
