Integrating Bioethics into Public Policy: Lessons from Mongolia’s COVID-19 Response

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research explores the intersection of bioethics and public administration by analyzing Mongolia’s governmental response during the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines how border closures, quarantines, and freedom restrictions impacted human rights and whether ethical standards were upheld. Using the four core principles of bioethics—autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice—the study reveals gaps in ethical oversight and the lack of professional input in decision-making. The paper argues for institutionalizing ethics in policy frameworks. “Public policy decisions during pandemics are often made under pressure, leaving little room for ethical deliberation. Understanding the moral implications of such decisions is crucial for protecting rights, ensuring equity, and improving trust in governance systems."
