In Italy mifepristone is not yet marketed. Gynaecologists in our hospital asked to use this medication as a less traumatic method for voluntary abortions. We followed the standard procedure defined by the Italian Health Ministry (IMH) for purchasing drugs from abroad but encountered several unexpected barriers. Starting from this case, this paper is aimed at identifying these barriers which we found to be not only professional, but also ethical, religious and moral.
在意大利,米非司酮尚未上市。我们医院的妇科医生请求使用这种药物,作为一种创伤较小的自愿堕胎方法。我们遵循了意大利卫生部规定的从国外购买药物的标准程序,但遇到了一些意想不到的障碍。从这个案例出发,本文旨在找出这些障碍,我们发现这些障碍不仅涉及专业方面,还包括伦理、宗教和道德方面。
