The social contract

“A basis for legitimating legal and political power in the idea of contract. Contracts are things that create obligations, hence if we can view society as organized “as if” a contract has been formed between the citizen and the sovereign power, this will ground the nature of the obligations, each to the other”- Oxford dictionary of philosophy.

The unwritten contract between health professionals and society.
