ANDRADE-NARVAEZ, Fernando José. Bioethical challenges and considerations of research for health in collaboration amongst Southern and Northern Countries. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.1, pp.79-92.  Epub Nov 14, 2020. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.4474.

Health research is essential to face current and future challenges by generating new knowledge, which in turn must be translated into better ways to prevent and treat diseases; all of this in order to achieve sustainable global human development. The much-needed North-South collaborative research for health has been on the rise in recent decades in response to the above. Due to various reasons, bioethical challenges and questions that must be addressed have arisen in this interaction. In this work we have identified: 1) asymmetry, 2) colonialism, 3) exploitation, 4) information , and 5) the research ethics committees, as the main challenges. Additionally, the bioethical aspects to be addressed have been reviewed. The urgency to build the bioethics of health research in cooperation between Northern and Sothern countries becomes evident.

Keywords : bioethics; health; research; international cooperation.
