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.enPublic healthFormula milkChild healthNutritionAfricaArticle
