IFAPP International Federation of Associations of Pharmaceutical Physicians and Pharmaceutical Medicine

IFAPP also follows closely the WMA’s activities, in particular with regard to the updates to the Declaration of Helsinki.

The World Medical Association (WMA) is an international organization representing physicians. It was founded on 17 September 1947, when physicians from 27 different countries met at the First General Assembly of the WMA in Paris. The organization was created to ensure the independence of physicians, and to work for the highest possible standards of ethical behaviour and care by physicians, at all times (https://www.wma.net/who-we-are/about-us/).

On 29 October 2020, IFAPP Ethics Working Group members published a paper “Linking the Declarations of Helsinki and of Taipei: Critical Challenges of Future-Oriented Research Ethics” which can be found in Frontiers in Pharmacology (https://ifapp.yaquedamenos.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fphar-11-579714.pdf)
