Abstract: This article analyzes the role of Tajik doctors during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) using ethical philosophies, particularly deontology, pragmatism, and existentialism. It examines the professional duties of doctors as well as their humanitarian mission carried out in the conditions of war. The doctors not only performed their medical functions but also fulfilled their moral duty by saving lives and preserving the value of human life. From the perspective of deontological philosophy, it is emphasized that doctors performed their sacred mission despite the harsh circumstances of war. From the standpoint of pragmatism, their efforts to save lives were linked to the public good and the maximization of benefits for society. From an existentialist philosophical view, doctors continued their work in the war, making free choices and demonstrating their commitment to life. The role of Tajik doctors on the front and in the rear was crucial in maintaining the combat readiness of soldiers and preserving their lives.
