The Congress theme is <strong>Health for All in an Unequal World: Obligations of Global Bioethics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2018 marks the 70<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the <em>UN Declaration of Human Rights<\/em> which laid a foundation for the highest attainable standards of health.\u00a0 It will also mark the 40<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the <em>Alma Ata Declaration<\/em>, in which the world pledged &#8220;Health for All&#8221; by 2000.\u00a0 More recently the chief of WHO issued a call for universal health coverage, drawing attention to issues around equity in health systems, including health systems research.<\/p>\n<p>Despite several gains in health research and healthcare, we as a global community have not been able to achieve equitable healthcare systems so far.\u00a0 Global bioethics ought to be squarely addressing health inequity in an interconnected but unequal world.\u00a0 We are witnessing the emergence of the stronghold of the private corporate sector on the one hand and health conditions requiring huge investments in research on the other hand.\u00a0 Alongside, we observe growing inequities in the health status of human populations, growing conflicts, increasing episodes of natural disasters and adverse economic situations directly impacting the purchasing capacity of common people.\u00a0 The inequity in access to healthcare continues as much in the global North as the global South.\u00a0 In this context, the global bioethics community needs to engage with and strengthen the scholarship in the field of enquiries such as &#8216;justice&#8217; and &#8216;solidarity&#8217; in the coming times.<\/p>\n<p>We sincerely hope that you will join us to bring your own voice into multidisciplinary conversations on the Congress theme. Needless to say, the Congress is open, as has always been the case, for debates and conversations on other wide-ranging themes from the broader discipline of bioethics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The call for papers for this year&#8217;s IAB conference is now available here: it&#8217;s worth noting that there&#8217;s a change of venue, and it&#8217;ll now be held in Bengaluru (Bangalore), not Delhi.\u00a0 (The notification of the change of venue is here.\u00a0 Given what&#8217;s been on the news recently about pollution levels in Delhi, the alteration [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-ethics\/2018\/02\/22\/cfp-iab-world-congress-of-bioethics-2018\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2145,185,1657],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cfp","category-conferences","category-events"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
