“…Morality in medicine is a topic as old as medicine itself, as proven by the presence of various ethical-based recommendations in many ancient texts (mostly but not only from the Hippocratic corpus) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Various concepts appertaining to medical ethics were previously gathered under different names—from decorum to deontology or within other disciplines such as law or religion [ 5 , 6 ].…”

In Middle Ages, in Moldavia and Wallachia, the healthcare system was almost non-existent, medical practice being the attribute of old women, midwives, charmers, and later monastic personnel. The first elements of medical ethics are identifiable in written texts from the 17th century, associated with a process of laicization of medicine and the appearance of the first combined civil and penal codes (Vasile Lupu’s Law from 1646 and Matei Basarab’s Law from 1652). In the next 150 years, elements of medical ethics were rarely identified, usually in legal regulations, personal letters, or literary works. Starting with the end of the 18th century, associated with the emergence of the position of public physician, detailed regulations regarding the healthcare system associated with an increased number of ethical norms began to emerge. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness to an international audience about the history of Romanian medical deontology and the roots of concepts appertaining to medical ethics in the territories of Moldavia and Wallachia.
