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.
