Summary:

"[T]his dissertation first will explore the practices that dehumanise human beings and do not promote holistic healing and the culture of life in the healthcare ministry of the Catholic Archdiocese of Nyeri...Secondly, to appeal to the teaching of the Church on healthcare and inculcate healthcare ministry rooted in a commitment to promote human dignity of every human life from the moment of conception until death. Thirdly, the dissertation calls for a paradigm shift in healing that focuses on holistic healthcare ethics...Our dissertation will propose the need for personalistic ethics of care where our main focus will be to argue for the centrality of the human person in the healthcare sector."--Abstract, vii.
