Is denying treatment a crime?
Although there’s no legal legislation in the Egyptian Penal Code that allows a doctor to be held accountable for violating the ethics of their profession or refraining from treating a patient; denying treatment requires criminal liability.
The Medical Ethics Law stipulates several duties of the doctor towards society.
Article 2 confirms that the doctor, in his professional or private work location, is obligated to do his work purely and to serve the community in which he lives with all his capabilities and energies in conditions of peace and conflict and all circumstances.
Dangers of not receiving chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy is used to fight rapidly cancerous cells, and it is necessary to receive chemotherapy doses in an organized manner.
Not receiving chemotherapy could cause aggressive cancerous cells to spread all over the body, reduce the effectiveness of treatment, and decrease survival duration after diagnosis.
