- Maintaining patient confidentiality is primarily mandated under the BMDC Code of Ethics as it outlines the professional and ethical responsibilities of medical practitioners in Pakistan.
- The Code emphasizes the importance of protecting patient privacy and maintaining trust in the doctor-patient relationship.
- Unlike legal acts or regulatory guidelines that focus on legalities or drug control, the BMDC Code specifically governs ethical conduct and confidentiality standards for doctors.
- This ensures that personal patient information is handled with the utmost discretion and respect.
