About this title

Synopsis

The BMA decided to take a thorough new look at the complex interface between medical practitioners and possible abuses of human rights. Its major new report takes its examples from all over the world. It ranges across a great variety of issues, including abuse of institutionalized patients, research involving humans, trade in human organs, doctors and asylum seekers, prison doctors, forensic doctors, the rehabilitation of torture victims, and medical involvement in armed conflicts and weapons research.
