E-drug: Ethics of Healthcare-related Research in Developing Countries
-----------------------------------------------
As part of its Inquiry on the Ethics of Healthcare-related Research in
Developing Countries, the Nuffield Council on Bioethics has launched a
public consultation. We would very much welcome your input on this. In
particular, your comments on the conduct, assessment and regulation of
healthcare-related research in developing countries and your views on
the way in which ethical issues raised by such research are
addressed. Please find attached a copy of the press releasing
announcing the public
consultation and the consultation document which provides further
information about the issues. The closing date for receipt of
submissionsis 30 November 2000.
Further information about the Inquiry (including Working Party
membership, terms of reference, minutes of meetings) is available on
the Council's web site at www.nuffield.org/bioethics/. The web site
also contains a copy of the discussion paper, 'the ethics of clinical
research in developing countries' published in October 1999 which
followed on from an international workshop held on this topic in
February 1999.
Should you have any queries regarding the consultation process or the
Inquiry as a whole, please do not hesitate to contact me.
