About this statute

This provision identifies Law 1240 of 2008 and introduces Title I on the ethical principles and values of respiratory therapy in Colombia. This article says that, without distinctions based on sex, age, creed, race, language, socioeconomic condition, or political ideology, respect for life, dignity, and human rights guides the respiratory therapy professional. Therapy respiratory professionals in Colombia must act according to ethical principles, tell the truth promptly to patients, respect personal decisions within limits, and take non-harmful actions; failure to act under non-maleficence can be sanctioned. El artículo describe los fundamentos del cuidado del terapeuta respiratorio y orienta el plan de cuidado a considerar el estado de salud, el entorno del paciente y las opiniones de otros profesionales. Esta disposición dice que la ley aplica en todo Colombia a la responsabilidad deontológica de los terapeutas respiratorios nacionales o extranjeros cuando ejercen la profesión.
