Ethics and the structures of health care in the European countries in transition: hospital ethics committees in Croatia

In European countris in transition, like Croatia, the healthcare system has a bureaucratic climate and approach. Ethics committees in such a climate are bureaucratically constituted entities whose functions consist mainly of analysing research protocols. Members of hospital ethics committees have insufficient knowledge of ethical issues and a paternalistic approach. Ignoring people and relationships can strain both providers and users, creating unresolved issues and tensions and ethical problems.
