Chapter 1 looks at why it is important to value conscience in health care, or what health care professionals might lose if their conscientious conduct was not protected. This chapter establishes that conscience has value, generally speaking, in health care, although not because it leads health care professionals on the path to moral righteousness or truth, as some would have it. Rather, it can allow health care professionals to have integrity, which itself has both personal and social value. The claim that conscience promotes integrity is common in bioethics, although the author interprets “integrity” differently than most bioethicists do.

Chapter 1 draws a link between the conscription of hundreds of thousands of Nyasaland’s Africans into the British military’s carrier service during the First World War and the first efforts to provide some measure of government health care to rural colonial subjects during the 1920s. Prewar colonial civilian medical care was poor. During the First World War, hundreds of thousands of Africans were forcibly conscripted into the British war effort. For the most part, this experience consisted of brutal and often deadly labor. However, the experience of even threadbare medical care during the war years did lead to calls for better civilian government health facilities during the 1920s.
