This book offers a collection of expert commentaries on the latest revision of the World Medical Association’s cornerstone document, exploring its profound implications for global health ethics and proposing a path for its improvement. The book consists of three main parts, each focusing on key issues of human rights, integrity and inclusivity, with each chapter enriching the discourse on ethical research practices.
The first part provides contextual perspectives on the implementation of research ethics, by gathering insights from different corners of the globe. This is followed by forward-looking perspectives for international ethical principles, and the final part describes not only the transformation of the Declaration, but also pushes it forward as a dynamic framework for ethical innovation to achieve access to health for all.
