Summary/Abstract: In the 21st Century, health care professionals all over the world are faced with situations that rise serious ethical challenges; some of them could be solved involving the knowledge and collaboration of legal professionals, psychologists, social services or clergy. Contemporary medicine is centred on patient’s autonomy and rights, as well as on health care models provided by multidisciplinary teams, adapted to the patient’s needs and specificities. All these issues are challenging the Romanian health care deciders to draft better policies and medical staff to improve their services.
