about

our values

CMF's Christian values can be summed up in Christ's two great commandments (Luke 10:27). 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' (Deuteronomy 6:5); and, 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' (Leviticus 19:18)

    Specifically we aim, as Christian doctors:
  1. To acknowledge, love and obey God as the Creator, Sustainer and Lord of all life.
  2. To practise whole-person medicine which addresses our patients' physical, emotional and spiritual needs
  3. To maintain the deepest respect for human life from its beginning to its end, including the unborn, the disabled and the elderly
  4. To serve our patients according to their need regardless of age, race, creed, politics, social status or the circumstances which may have contributed to their illness.
  5. To care sacrificially for the poor, vulnerable and marginalized
  6. To uphold marriage, faithfulness and the family
  7. To speak the truth, respect privacy and safeguard our patients' confidences.
  8. To put our patients first whilst fully accepting our duty to promote preventive medicine and public health.
  9. To deal honestly with our professional and administrative colleagues and to respect the governing authorities
  10. To work constructively in scientific research and in training others for the benefit of individual patients and the advance of health care throughout the world.
