    Questioning the ethics of international research on formula milk supplementation in low-income African countries
    (BMJ Publishing Group, 2022) Doherty, Tanya; Engebretsen, Ingunn Marie S; Tylleskär, Thorkild
    Over the past three decades, the increase in funding for priority public health issues largely affecting low/middle-income countries (LMICs) has led to the growth in international research involving researchers or research sponsors from a high-income country (HIC) conducting research in LMICs. The ethical considerations in such international research were raised in the 1990s and several ethical guidelines specifically addressing international research were published.1 2 However, in 2022, we still find examples of research undertaken by HIC principal investigators and funders, with no benefit and large potential for harm, being undertaken in LMICs.
