Sahakian Fair Allocation of Scarce Medical Resources

Abstract

During and after Covid-19 pandemic, a number of bioethical issues were significantly addressed in many publications in popular media and academics. But most of the discussions are new twists on the old theme. In this article we will consider the ethical issues related to fair allocation of scarce medical resources during and after Covid-19 pandemic. We will try to understand if there are exact principles to be followed to be fair while allocating medical resources in such situations?  Considering the hardships of such situations, multiple studies attempted to ease this burden by the construction of an exact ethical framework for prioritizing patients in the setting of resource scarcity.
