AFRIKAANS: Ek, onderneem uit vrye wil en met die verskuldigde eerbied, om ’n professionele geneeskundige te wees wat mense respekteer; na myself omsien; en ander met waardigheid, integriteit en deernis behandel. Ek heg waarde aan wie ek is en kan word, net soveel soos wat ek waarde heg aan ander vir wie hulle is en kan word. Ek sal te alle tye poog om pasiënte se vertroulikheid te verseker en die hoogste etiese standaarde in my praktyk te handhaaf. In ’n immer veranderende wêreld sal ek ’n nuuskierige, kreatiewe en nadenkende professionele gesondheidswerker bly wat respek betoon vir die diverse ideologieë, idees, kontekste en oplossings wat vir mense, gemeenskappe en bevolkings saak maak. Ek sal met ander as gelyke vennote saamwerk in die strewe na uitnemendheid in mensgesentreerde sorg. Ek verbind my daartoe om ’n voorspraak vir sosiale geregtigheid te wees, en ek sal my bearbei om die lewensomstandighede, versorgingservarings en gesondheidsuitkomste van diegene wat aan my sorg toevertrou word, te verbeter. Ek aanvaar my verantwoordelikheid om te help om ’n volhoubare toekoms vir almal te bou deur hulpbronne met sorg, kreatiwiteit en ywer aan te wend. Ten slotte sal ek te alle tye poog om sorg te voorsien wat hulp verleen en geen skade berokken nie.
