With advancements and innovations in healthcare delivery, a rapidly aging population, and the effects of globalisation, culture, and migration, we face an increasing need to discuss best practices, debate and share ideas, and shape the evolution of healthcare ethics and professionalism. The core principles of clinical ethics for the healthcare professions need up to date contextualisation, or they may risk being lost in translation. Singapore will provide a vibrant setting for discussion of these conference themes.

The Organising Committee of the 13th International Conference on Clinical Ethics Consultation (ICCEC), the leading international clinical ethics conference founded in 2003 by Professors George J. Agich & Stella Reiter-Theil, invites you to attend this year’s event, the first time ICCEC will be held in Southeast Asia.

Over the last decade, Southeast Asia has become a global epicenter for rapid growth, development, and technological advancement. Singapore, as the world’s most globally connected country is the ideal place to discuss the conference theme "Clinical Ethics & Changes in Healthcare". Voted one of the top tourist destinations in 2015, visitors will also experience amazing food, ease of travel,stellar attractions and a diverse cultural experience deeply rooted in the area’s rich history.
