This paper aims to reflect on the ethic and legal implications of health anthropologist’s ethnography within hospitals or clinical enviroments; as well as the validity, effectiveness and legitimacy of their involvement. We begin by recognizing that in these spaces multiple social actors converge, within a regulatory framework; and thus to their disciplinary construction, there’s axiological tensions that generate new legal and ethical mechanisms for the approach to users; through which the anthropologist enccounters an entrance for the research and the contribution for the improvement of clinical services, keeping in mind the deonic principles of anthropology and its historicity of the discipline and the ethics.
