Thesis (LL.D.)--University of Pretoria (South Africa), 2023.

The armed forces maintain medical support to servicemen and women in times of peace and during armed conflict. In the South African National Defence Force, the responsibility to provide healthcare services to servicemen and servicewomen befalls the South African Military Health Service. Due to the comprehensive medical service that is provided, soldiers are able to place their lives in harm's way to defend the state knowing that, if needed, help is at hand to restore function and to heal wounds. Military healthcare, apart from restoring battlefield wounds, has the responsibility of maintaining a fit-for-service soldier population.In order to facilitate this support, healthcare professionals volunteer to serve alongside regular soldiers in the armed forces. Serving as both a soldier and a doctor at first glance does not appear to make sense. While a soldier is expected to kill and destroy in defence of a country, doctors are entrusted with the task of healing and restoring to health patients under their care. To some extent, therefore, military doctors are expected, conceptually at least, to fulfil two roles. These roles are not compatible with one another, and this can lead to role conflicts or contradictory role obligations (described as dual loyalties).In the thesis dual loyalty dilemmas faced by South African military healthcare professionals in executing their function as healthcare professionals and professional soldiers are examined in the context of domestic and international law. The healthcare professional's obligations towards their patients, founded in the bioethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice, form the overarching framework of this examination.Being the first study of its nature in a South African setting, the conclusions drawn and recommendations made are aimed at assisting South African military healthcare professionals in identifying and defusing situations that may create conflict in their dual roles under military authority. Among these conclusions, the need for a legal framework and continued bioethical training are highlighted, reinforcing the independent status of the military healthcare professional. The inclusion of draft rules of conduct for healthcare professionals in the military environment is recommended.
