چکیده
The WMA is a federation of National Medical Associations (NMA) representing over 8 million physicians in >85 countries around the world. It was founded in 1947 with the mission to “serve humanity by endeavoring to achieve the highest international standards in medical education, medical science, medical care, and medical ethics, and health care for all the people of the world”. Despite the enormously disparate environments and circumstances in which physicians care for patients, there are three fundamental, unifying, and enduring traditions of the medical profession; caring, ethics, and science. Thus, it is not surprising that physicians’ desires and concerns are similar globally.
