Main content
Our research group and the clinical ethics committee at Haukeland University Hospital ( Ole and Ingrid ) has for two years been involved in a project together with the newly established clinical ethics committee at Tikur Anbesa (Black Lion) Hospital to develop ethical guideline for decision making processes concerning limiting life-sustaining treatment for severely sick and dying patients. After intense and fruitful discussions we have now developed and agreed upon a draft that will be developed further and sent to various stakeholders for comments, including the Ministry of Health. This workshop was funded by UoB, Haukeland University Hospital and CIRHT.
