The Ethox Centre is running its annual Global Health Bioethics Summer School in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam from the 1 - 5 June 2015.

The summer school, which is hosted by Ethox at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam will bring together 50 delegates from Africa, South East Asia, South Asia and Europe to discuss practical ethical issues in global health research. This year the summer school will have a strong focus on ethical issues in Maternal and Child Health, data-sharing, and the ethics of global health research collaboration. The summer school is one of the core elements of the Ethox Centre’s Wellcome Trust Strategic Award, which supports the Global Health Bioethics Network with partners in Malawi, Kenya, Thailand, Vietnam and South Africa. Another key element is the Oxford Global Health Bioethics Conference being held in Oxford at the end of September.
