UCTD Healthcare workers (HCWs) SDG-03: Good health and well-being SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions Improvisation Ethics Praxis Dissertation (MSocSci (Anthropology))--University of Pretoria, 2023. This dissertation explores healthcare workers’ praxis of biomedical ethics in a healthcare system that has been ravaged by structural challenges evidenced by poor management, shortages of biomedical supplies, staff, and equipment. By following the narratives of healthcare professionals, I examine the ways in which they attempt to fulfill their duty to care for patients by working around and through situations. I make visible the tools, techniques, practices, and processes they engage in to negotiate and achieve patient care. I argue that although certain actions of healthcare professionals may appear unethical from the bioethical fundamentalist’s viewpoint, my evidence suggests that healthcare workers mostly perceive such situations less as a deviation from clinical ethics but as praxis of it.
