在我被吸收为医学事业中的一员时,我严肃地保证将我的一生奉献于为人类服务。
我将用我的良心和尊严来行使我的职业。我的病人的健康将是我首先考虑的。我将尊重病人所交给我的秘密。我将极尽所能来保持医学职业的荣誉和可贵的传统。我的同道均是我的兄弟。
我不允许宗教、国籍、政治派别或地位来干扰我的职责和我与病人之间的关系。
我对人的生命,从其孕育之始,就保持最高的尊重,即使在威胁下,我决不将我的医学知识用于违反人道主义规范的事情。
我出自内心和以我的荣誉,庄严地作此保证。

At the time of being admitted as a member of the medical profession
I solemnly pledge myself to consecrate my life to the service of humanity:
I will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude which is their due;
I will practice my profession with conscience and dignity;
The health and life of my patient will be my first consideration;
I will respect the secrets which are confided in me;
I will maintain by all means in my power, the honor and the noble traditions ofthe medical profession;
My colleagues will be my brothers:
I will not permit considerations of religion, nationality, race, party politicsor social standing to intervene between my duty and my patient;
I will maintain the utmost respect for human life, from the time of its conception,
even under threat, I will not use my medical knowledge contrary to the laws of humanity;
I make these promises solemnly, freely and upon my honor...

希波克拉底(希腊文Ἱπποκράτης英文Hippocrates of Cos II或者Hippokrates of Kos),为古希腊伯里克利时代的医师,欧洲医学奠基人。在其所身处的上古时代,医学并不发达,然而却能把医学发展成为专业学科,使之与巫术及哲学分离,并创立了以之为名的医学学派,对古希腊之医学发展贡献良多,故称之为“医学之父”。希波克拉底提出“体液(humours)学说”,他的医学观点对以后西方医学的发展有巨大影响。希波克拉底卒于公元前377年,享年八十三岁。
