Читать книгу The Fundamentals of Clinical Research - P. Michael Dubinsky - Страница 32

Not every medical practitioner belongs to a professional organization but most of those who are providing services in conformance with local licensing and professional credentialing requirements do belong to one or more professional organizations. Primary examples are medical associations who affiliate locally, nationally, and worldwide. Examples are the World Medical Association which developed and regularly updates the Declaration of Helsinki, and the, World Health Association which has its own set of Good Clinical Practices utilized throughout the globe. Those organizations promote and expect their members to comply with ethical and regulatory requirements. With their membership layered from global down through local states, regions and countries any transgressions in the conduct of human biomedical clinical trials or experimentation would be quickly identified and made visible to appropriate authorities. The reach of the international organizations is especially important in developing countries where the regulatory scheme is less mature.
