In this second episode of the WMA Junior Doctors Network (JDN) Podcast, host Dr. Pablo Estrella (Chair of the JDN) and Dr. Otmar Kloiber (Secretary General of the WMA) examine some of the most pivotal contributions the WMA has made to global health and medical ethics. They discuss formative documents such as the Declaration of Tokyo —condemning physician participation in torture—and explore how the Declaration of Helsinki set the international standard for ethical medical research and informed consent. Dr. Kloiber also outlines WMA’s ongoing commitment to human rights, environmental health, and the social determinants of health. Concluding with a look at WMA’s supportive role for National Medical Associations (NMAs), this conversation underscores the WMA’s lasting impact on clinical practice, professional rights, and the well-being of patients worldwide.
