Research in global health emergencies: Ethical issues
Addressing global health emergencies requires robust systems that can quickly detect and respond to emergencies. Health research is critical in generating evidence of proven approaches and developing and improving response systems. During emergencies accelerating health research is imperative for the research community. However, it is crucial to ensure that researchers do this within the parameters of ethical consideration. This course explores core ethical issues in conducting health research during global emergencies and considers issues of fair collaboration, and duties of care to frontline health workers.
