    Economic analysis of healthcare faces challenges due to individualistic medical ethics. This paper explores how deontological and utilitarian ethics influence resource allocation, often prioritizing individual needs over societal ones.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Economics
    • Bioethics
    • Resource Allocation

    Background:

    • Economic analysis is increasingly applied to healthcare.
    • Medical ethics significantly influences healthcare resource allocation.
    • Existing ethical frameworks may not adequately address societal resource needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To debate the application of economic analysis in healthcare.
    • To highlight the role of deontological and utilitarian ethics in resource allocation.
    • To examine how individualistic ethical codes impact societal resource allocation in healthcare.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and theoretical debate.
    • Analysis of ethical theories (deontological and utilitarian).
    • Examination of the healthcare sector's structure and its influence on ethics.

    Main Results:

    • Medical ethics in healthcare often adopt an individualistic focus.
    • This individualistic approach can neglect broader societal resource allocation concerns.
    • The healthcare sector's structure reinforces these individualistic ethical codes.

    Conclusions:

    • A tension exists between economic analysis and individualistic medical ethics in healthcare.
    • Healthcare resource allocation requires a broader ethical perspective beyond individual needs.
    • Understanding the influence of ethical frameworks is crucial for effective healthcare policy.
