“There’s something scary about the degree of power that Western academics can exercise over poor people... if a foreign researcher wants to carry out an unethical RCT in a place like Kenya, they can.” But the real problem is there aren’t sufficient ethical safeguards in place.
And that is a wrap! We would like to thank our hosts, all presenters, chairs, sponsors, exhibitors, and both the virtual and in-person participants who helped us make this Eleventh #EDCTPForum a success. We hope to see you in Kigali!
Great discussions today at the #EDCTPForum ! @HealthNCPNet presented funding opportunities under @HorizonEU 🇪🇺 & @EDCTP3 colleagues moderated the sessions on advancements in drug development in TB and HIV & on capacity strengthening initiatives in Africa 🌍
