International Bioethics Institute

Bioethics is an area of interdisciplinary research aimed at understanding, discussing and resolving moral problems generated by the latest achievements in biomedical science and healthcare practice.

Bioethics is an independent interdisciplinary area of knowledge about the moral and ethical foundations of the professional activities of medical and pharmaceutical workers. The subject of bioethics is the systematic study of human behavior within the life sciences and health, conducted in the light of moral values and principles.

For a detailed study of modern principles and challenges of bioethics, discussion of this specialized topic and preparation of systemic educational modules for specialists and participants of the public health management system on the basis of ECHD, the International Institute of Bioethics was established in December 2020.
