The origin of the The Hippocratic Oath is a solemn promise historically taken by physicians to uphold ethical standards in medical practice. Its origin is attributed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who is considered the father of modern medicine. The exact authorship and content of the original oath are uncertain, as there are multiple versions and variations that have been documented over time. However, the oath’s principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, confidentiality, and accountability have been influential in shaping medical ethics throughout history.
