Public health leader must comform to certain ethical principles and to transmit them to all team members. In terms of leadership, ethics is the option to do the right thing in relation with other people while respecting the rights and needs of others. Thus, ethics follows the principles of righteousness, justice and impartiality. Ethical principles relate to current behavior, habits, attitudes and perceptions of people on general concepts, good and evil, truth and falsehood, justice and discrimination, freedom and constraint. Ethical dilemmas arise when there is a difference between principles and practice. A leader in public health work must take social responsibility to the community he represents by implementing codes of professional ethics at managerial level. Even if preventive medicine is seen as an unproductive service as long as diseases arise, medicine of a healthy person should be a public health policy assumed by the individual and the community.
