Conference Reports
Bringing solidarity, justice and equity to the centre of the bioethics discourse: Overview of proceedings of the joint 14th World Congress of Bioethics and the 7th National Bioethics Conference, 2018
Abstract:
Forum for Medical Ethics Society (FMES), Mumbai; St. John’s National Academy of Health Sciences (SJNAHS), Bengaluru; Society for Community Health Awareness Research and Action (SOCHARA,) Bengaluru and SAMA Resource Group for Women and Health, New Delhi co-hosted the joint 14th World Congress of Bioethics (WCB) and the 7th National Bioethics Conference (NBC) in Bengaluru. The theme of the Congress was, “Health for all in an unequal world: Obligations of Global Bioethics”. The conference was held at an opportune time when we also commemorate 70 years of the Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and 40 years of the Alma Ata Declaration of 1978. Both declarations affirmed Health as a fundamental Human Right. We have discussed earlier the significance of the congress theme in the year 2018.
