Managing Ethical Issues in Infectious Disease Outbreaks
I recently found very insightful book by WHO on Managing Ethical Issues in Infectious Disease Outbreaks. Authors seeks to assist policy-makers, health care providers, researchers, and others prepare for outbreak situations by anticipating and preparing for the critical ethical issues likely to arise. Infectious disease outbreaks are frequently characterized by scientific uncertainty, social and institutional disruption, and an overall climate of fear and distrust. Policy makers and public health professionals may be forced to weigh and prioritize potentially competing ethical values in the face of severe time and resource constraints.
