Abstract:
Since its introduction in 1964, the World Medical Association's Declaration of Helsinki-Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects has enshrined the importance of safeguarding the well-being of human subjects in clinical research. The Declaration has undergone seven revisions, often in response to requests for clarification.
