DISCRIMINATORY PHENOMENA IN THE MEDICAL PRACTICE
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Bulgaria's accession to the EU is the process of adapting national legislation to European norms and values. The adoption of the Law on Protection against discrimination is an important point of convergence with European standards in the sphere of equality, equal opportunities, equal treatment, prevention and elimination of discrimination in public relations. Health is a public sphere in which discriminatory phenomena have a strong negative response, therefore their prevention and removal is an important public task. The modern world is a world of diversity – a true palette of human individuals, communities of people and cultures. In this multitude harmony is achieved through tolerance, cooperation and mutual assistance. Tolerance is an active attitude formed on the basis of recognition of universal rights and fundamental freedoms of every person, and cooperation in reaching mutually acceptable solutions for problems and prevention of onesided views in favour only of one or another group of people. The manifestation of tolerance is consistent with respect to the individual as the supreme value of human civilization, his originality and universally recognized rights and freedoms. Tolerance is the basis for achieving equality of opportunities for accomplishment of the individual, elimination of all forms of discrimination against nations, peoples and other human communities that had been formed on the basis of a common race, religion, traditions, culture, language, ethnic origin, etc.
