F PRESENTATION Mexico is honored and proud for the great success of the th Global Summit of National Ethics/Bioethics Committees, which gathered representatives from more than one hundred countries from around the globe to foster open dialogue, mutual learning and exchange information about speci c and priority aspects of bioethics issues, both for our country as well as the group of nations who participated. This productive meeting, held with great enthusiasm and expectation, laid the ground work for discussing and analyzing national and global public policy on ethics in health. The Summit was meant not only as an opportunity for Mexico to highlight its efforts in bioethics, but as a way of consolidating Mexico’s leadership in the Americas, a key aim of the National Bioethics Commission’s work in recent years. It was an ideal platform for all of the Americas to become aware of the wide-ran ging and complex projects, work and advances that have been carried out in this eld. The issue is of utmost importance for our government, as the President of the Republic, Enrique Peña Nieto, has made a call to build a society of rights, within the framework of a more egalitarian and inclusive Mexico. This has, on one hand, strengthened the National Bioethics Commission, and, on the other, promoted the creation of bioethics committees in each of the states. The stage and the areas of opportunity for advancing a bioethical culture in our country, thus, are favorable for the promotion of projects and programs aimed at developing knowledge in the eld, such as the organization of this great event. / The realization of the th Global Summit of National Ethics/ Bioethics Committees is a re ection of the commitment of our nation to the best causes of Humanity. I would like to thank all participants for their valuable contributions and for making this such a memorable occasion. • Mercedes Juan Secretary of Health, Mexico F FOREWORD The Global Summit of National Ethics/Bioethics
