Abstract
The earliest known code of laws called the code of Hammurabi governed the various aspects of health practices including the fees payable to physician for satisfactory services. The first ever code of medical ethics called the Hippocratic oath was laid down 2500 years ago, in the 5th century BC, by Hippocrates—the Greek physician. The modern version of Hippocratic Oath (called the declaration of Geneva), devised by the WHO after the Second World War and is accepted by international medical fraternity.
