Rootopathy™ Ethics & Patient Safety

Where Science, Responsibility & Humanity Meet

At ROOTOPATHY, ethics is not a policy - it is the foundation of every clinical decision.

Patient safety is not a checklist - it is the moral duty that governs how we think, listen, communicate, and act.

This commitment reflects global standards upheld by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), The Lancet Commission, National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

A Commitment Beyond Compliance

Every individual is treated as a whole human being, not a diagnosis.

  • Privacy

7. Compassion in Practice - A Clinical Moment by Dr. Prashant Gupta

“Doctor, I am afraid. I don’t understand what is happening.”

During ICU rounds, a patient once whispered-

That sentence reminded us-no algorithm, no technology, no protocol can replace human presence.

Safety begins when fear is heard.

8. Continuous Learning & Accountability

  • Ongoing professional education

  • Clinical audit & outcome review

  • Ethical reflection & improvement

  • Transparent handling of concerns or grievances

We commit to-

Because trust must be earned every day.

Health is a human right (WHO Declaration on Health).

10. The ROOTOPATHY™ Ethical Promise

We will never forget that every life entrusted to us matters.
