This work explores the intersection of economics and ethics in medicine, addressing the implications of economic influences on healthcare practices. It begins with a focus on the challenges posed by the economic transformation of medicine, discussing the ethical obligations of physicians and the loss of core values in patient care. Contributions examine the ethical implications of financial motivations, the legal and ethical complexities of prioritizing treatments, and the impact of market-driven healthcare models through the lens of justice theories. The discussion extends to the ethical considerations surrounding remuneration for quality care, particularly in the context of early dementia diagnosis. Interdisciplinary contributions address the ethics of treatment allocation, the evolving nature of medical dignity, and the use of assistive technologies in care settings. Issues of gender equity in organ allocation and the healthcare of uninsured migrants highlight systemic disparities. The dialogue culminates in an examination of "Universal Health Coverage" and its ethical dimensions, featuring international perspectives on the WHO's framework and the role of bioethics in policy-making. Various reports analyze the responsibilities inherent in universal coverage, addressing health care deficiencies and aspirations in different countries, while emphasizing justice and fairness in public health ethics.
