Ethics and Innovations in Biomedical Sciences

Abstract

In the recent past, there is proliferation of innovations in the field of biomedical sciences. These include primarily the products (pharmaceuticals, food supplements, technical devices) and services (educational programmes, patient management care procedures). The pace of increase of innovations have contributed to the economic growth and the development of the countries. However, the innovation/research may associate with ethical challenges. Therefore, I would like to devote this editorial to brief on the potential ethical issues associated with the innovations and the way forward.
