Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to our Special Issue “Health Care Ethics Research”. Health care ethics research is essential for understanding which practices are appropriate and which are not, and for identifying areas for improvement. Through clinical ethics research, we can implement measures to ensure that health care practice is geared toward optimal health care, both at the individual and population levels. The key objectives of this Special Issue are to understand what type of clinical ethics (health ethics) research is conducted in different parts of the world, to understand the main ethical concerns in each region, and to learn from the different experiences of clinical ethics research. In this way, practices and research conducted in one region can be transferred to others.
