The Hippocratic oath derives its name from the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates. It has been embraced as a code of conduct by the medical profession throughout the ages, and is used by medical faculties as an explicit moment of reflection during graduation ceremonies. Although this oath is primarily of ceremonial value, it was felt that the text needed revision as it no longer reflected the current ethical norms in the Netherlands. The new Dutch oath drawn up in 2003 has a dual function: it is symbolic in that it represents the end of a doctor's training, but it is also intended to trigger the discussion of moral issues during the medical studies.
希波克拉底誓言得名于古希腊医生希波克拉底。古往今来，它一直被视为医学行业的行为准则，医学院在毕业典礼上会将其作为一个明确的反思时刻。尽管这个誓言主要具有仪式价值，但人们认为其文本需要修订，因为它已不再反映荷兰当前的道德规范。2003年起草的新荷兰誓言具有双重功能：它具有象征意义，代表着医生培训的结束，但同时也旨在引发医学学习期间对道德问题的讨论。
