PREAMBLE

For millennia, healthcare functioned as a direct ethical covenant between doctor and patient. In the past five decades, this covenant has been disrupted by non-clinical third parties, distorting incentives, eroding autonomy, and inflating costs. The Global Summits Institute exists to restore professional sovereignty by returning authority to doctors.

II    Thou shall Place The Sacred Patient-Doctor Relationship Above All
III   Thou shall Enable Academic and Research Independence
IV   Thou shall Exercise Administrative Autonomy and Clinical Beneficence
V    Thou shall Uphold Financial Sovereignty
VI   Thou shall Utilize Technology to Empower Care Providers

ARTICLE I – FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE

Healthcare is a profession governed by its peers. Any individual or entity without formal healthcare education shall not hold any authority or control over healthcare management, delivery, or any aspect of its supply chain.

ARTICLE II – DOCTOR–PATIENT SOVEREIGNTY

The doctor–patient relationship is inviolable. No third party may supersede clinical judgment. All systems must serve this relationship.

ARTICLE III – THE THIRD-PARTY FALLACY

Third-party solutions introduced over the last five decades have become the primary problems of healthcare. With AI and modern technologies, most intermediary services can be replaced at a fraction of the cost, unlocking massive surplus resources.

ARTICLE IV – ROLE OF NON-DOCTOR PARTIES

Non-doctor professionals may serve only in advisory, fee-for-service roles with no ownership, authority, voting rights, or influence over clinical standards or governance.

ARTICLE V – TECHNOLOGY AS RESTORATION

Technology must empower doctors and patients, eliminate administrative burden, and restore autonomy. AI shall never supersede clinical judgment.

ARTICLE VI – THREE-PRONGED DOCTOR-LED SYSTEM

• Academic Sovereignty: Doctors define standards and ethics.
• Administrative Sovereignty: Doctors govern operations and policy.
• Financial Sovereignty: Doctors control capital and infrastructure.

ARTICLE VII – FAILURE OF LEGACY INSTITUTIONS

Legacy accreditation bodies and governments have failed to keep pace with modern healthcare realities. New ideas require new governance.

ARTICLE VIII – GLOBAL DOCTOR-LED OVERSIGHT

A global doctor-governed body shall define standards, accreditation, regulation, AI ethics, advocacy, and policy across specialties and regions.

ARTICLE IX – LEADERSHIP

Doctor leaders are elected through peer recognition across the healthcare supply chain in over 160 countries.

ARTICLE X – CONTINUING EDUCATION

Continuing education is the engine of change, uniting doctors globally in academic, administrative, and financial collaboration free of third-party influence.

DECLARATION

Doctors must lead healthcare. Technology must serve clinicians. Patients must come first.
This Charter restores the Hippocratic order for the 21st century.

THOU SHALT uphold the sacred calling of medicine, not as an industry, not as a commodity, and not as a political instrument—but as a moral vocation entrusted to healthcare providers by humanity itself.

Medicine exists to heal, to protect dignity, and to serve life. Its authority is derived not from corporations, governments, or intermediaries, but from knowledge, ethics, and the enduring covenant between healthcare provider and patient.

I. Do No Harm

Medicine begins and ends with the primacy of non-maleficence. No policy, profit, ideology, or convenience shall supersede the obligation to protect patients from harm.

II. Place the Sacred Patient–Healthcare Provider Relationship Above All

The patient–healthcare provider relationship is inviolable. Trust, confidentiality, and clinical judgment form the cornerstone of care and must never be subordinated to external interests.

III. Enable Academic and Research Independence

Scientific inquiry must remain free from coercion, censorship, and financial distortion. Truth advances only when research is independent and debate is protected.

IV. Exercise Administrative Autonomy and Clinical Beneficence

Healthcare providers must retain authority over clinical decisions and practice management, ensuring that care is guided by beneficence rather than bureaucracy.

V. Uphold Financial Sovereignty

Healthcare providers shall control the economic framework of their labor, free from exploitative structures that compromise judgment, access, or outcomes.

VI. Utilize Technology to Empower Care Providers

Technology shall serve clinicians and patients—not replace judgment, extract value, or centralize control. Innovation must enhance care, efficiency, and human connection.

VII. Recognize Healthcare as Solely Governed by Its Peers

Healthcare shall be governed by qualified professionals within the field. Standards, ethics, and accountability must arise from those who practice healthcare.

VIII. Only Permit Third Parties in Advisory Roles

Non-clinical entities may advise, but shall never own, govern, direct, or vote on medical decisions. Authority resides with healthcare providers alone.

IX. Establish a Global Order of Healthcare Providers

A unified, healthcare provider-led global body shall set standards, coordinate ethics, advance collaboration, and safeguard healthcare for all humanity.

X. Commit to Lifelong Learning

Healthcare demands perpetual education. Healthcare providers shall continually refine knowledge, skills, and wisdom in service of evolving science and patient care.

These Commandments are not aspirational—they are foundational. They define healthcare as a moral profession, guided by science, protected by ethics, and accountable to patients above all else.

UNITA STAMUS

United, we stand—for healthcare, for patients, and for the future of medicine.
