Conscience clause in contract

I am a doctor from overseas, and am negotiating my contract with a hospital in Dar. The hospital expects me to do all kinds of work, and is unwilling to heed to my demand for the insertion of a conscience clause in my contract. What should I do?

A conscience clause allows you to be excused from certain duties that you morally disapprove of. This clause has been widely used in contracts with doctors who oppose abortion. In Tanzania, abortion is illegal and a criminal offence. Therefore, you need not worry about that issue as, by operation of law, you cannot perform an abortion unless it is for medical reasons. However, should you have other moral concerns, you can perhaps discuss this with your employer. Alternatively, you can look for another employer, as parties are free to negotiate terms as they deem fit in their contracts.
