is what I do currently. Impartiality is a medical thing, essentially.It's the fact that a human being in front of you, no matter what their religion is, or no matter where they're from, how they got ill or injured,
For instance, if altruistic love turns a little bit into attachment, then go to impartiality . If impartiality becomes a bit of indifference-- you're impartial, but you're not caring very much, then move to compassion. Think of the suffering of beings.
What's important in these words is more the practical implication that they have, if you implement them. So impartiality is at the core of medical ethics, of course, because if you provide medical care, regardless of race, political agenda, regardless of gender, then you are able to do medicine in an ethical way.
the person work-- then you are able to access the conflict zones. So impartiality for us is not just a principle, it's also a very practical way to access those dangerous areas, and to demonstrate that we are neutral, and that we are not taking sides in the conflict, and that we have no other agenda than treating the people.
So you don't ask questions about your patient. That's what impartiality is. So my first experience with MSF, I was one year in the field.
And besides altruistic love, compassion, rejoicing and celebrating, there's a fourth thing that we need. That's impartiality . We cannot know compassion-- and altruism is not a reward for good behavior or for the way people treat you. Compassion aims at removing any suffering wherever it is, however it manifests.
Just extend your altruistic love, your compassion to all. That's called impartiality . So of course, we did that for a very short time.
You've supported us all along. And I has lost my impartiality , let's say.
You've supported us all along. I have a question regarding impartiality , as well.
So you get lower turnover. So an important part of leadership is impartiality , fairness, people really have to trust you, that you're really impartial.
And how do you avoid being affiliated with a power is with your financial independence, most of the time. So that's why independence is also a tool for impartiality , that itself is a tool for access. How do we achieve our financial independence?
You've supported us all along. How often do individual members on the ground breach your impartiality ?
political agenda, regardless of gender, then you are able to do medicine in an ethical way. But in our own situation, if you practice medical care with impartiality -- that is, if you don't ask for which faction the person work-- then you are able to access the conflict zones.
You've supported us all along. Because we had experienced that after six months, they were losing their impartiality because they were under so much stress, they were exposed
Just to really map out-- the founding principles of MSF are what you see there-- independence, neutrality, and impartiality . The independence comes from the funding stream, essentially being literal public, and also the fact that we govern ourselves.
And then also you can switch between those. For instance, if altruistic love turns a little bit into attachment, then go to impartiality . If impartiality becomes a bit of indifference-- you're impartial, but you're not caring very much, then move to compassion.
But redundancies are very important in order to respond to massive and large-scale operations. Now when you hear about MSF, I'm sure you've heard these sacrosanct principle-- neutrality, impartiality , and independence. It really defines our culture and our identity.
