dc.description.abstract	This edition of the O&G Forum is dedicated to various aspects of Obstetrical and Gynaecological care of nadolescents. In modern medical ethics, patient autonomy is considered a major principle in decision-making regarding one’s health. Those receiving healthcare should be allowed to exercise that right consciously and freely. Healthcare providers are obligated to respect this right and allow patients to practice their autonomy in the cause of their treatment.	en_ZA
