The International Code of Medical Ethics of the World Medical Association Ramin Walter Parsa-Parsi. JAMA.

"One of the central missions of the World Medical Association (WMA) in its role as the global organization of physicians is to ensure the highest possible standard of ethical practice of the medical profession. Since its establishment in 1947 in the aftermath of one of the most egregious breaches of medical ethical principles, the WMA has adopted a comprehensive range of declarations, resolutions, and statements aimed at providing ethical and other guidance to the global medical profession."

"Following a substantial revision of the existing Code, a revised ICoME (International Code of Medical ethics) was unanimously adopted by the WMA General Assembly in October 2022 in Berlin."
