The 2024 Declaration Of Helsinki

This book takes you on a journey into the future of ethical research, offering 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, particularly in the Global South and Asia, by gathering revealing 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. The 2024 Declaration of Helsinki could be marked by global discussions to be consolidated towards the highest ethical standards based on the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, trends to promote the involvement of patients, participants and public in research projects, and the growing attention to data-driven research. Each chapter demonstrates the pathway to Ethical Innovation for Global Health. The 2024 Declaration of Helsinki: Global Efforts Towards Highest Ethical Standards is essential reading for scientists, practitioners, and policymakers committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct in research. Members of research ethics committees, pharmaceutical company employees, medical students, patients and members of the public involved in human research will also find this volume useful.
