Describe a situation in which a public health challenge presents a conflict with the Christian worldview

It is vital that individuals who partake in public health practices exhibit ethical values, however, there are instances where public health officials are faced with challenges that conflict with the Christian worldview. For example, there are people known as fatalists who do not believe in diagnosis and treatment but believe that the disease is fated, and nothing will change the events that are happening. This is because of the faith they have from their religion where they believe solely in their creator and refuse all man-made medical help (Perfetti, 2018). Furthermore, these fatalists can be seen in some Christian worldviews who follow the holy book religiously and do not steer away from its readings and practice. For example, there are those who understand that they are ill and would seek help from medical personnel, however, because of their religion, their method of treatment might affect their health. For example, Jehovah’s Witness members do not partake in blood transfusion because their religion deems it as taboo. This refusal of treatment is dangerous to public health because if a member needs blood transfusion for survival, they would reject it, which results in health deterioration or death of a community.

Explain how you would apply the “Principles of the Ethical Practice of Public Health” to approach this ethical dilemma and resolve the issue

There are various methods I would use to apply the principles of ethical practice of public health when addre4ssing this ethical dilemma. For example, I would enforce a policy that all public health officials and practices must exhibit understanding and respect for other’s rights while they are promoting health for the community. Furthermore, public health officials must incorporate various methods when approaching communities with certain cultural and religious backgrounds and practices. These methods include finding a different medical intervention to increase blood flow without blood transfusion. For instance, increase iron intake (iron healthy diet or iron supplements or intravenous), injecting Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (stimulates the body to make more red blood cells), and Preoperative Autologous Blood Donation (the patients donating their own blood prior to any medical events).
