Members of the Humanitarian Health Ethics (HHE) Research Group are actively involved in the global COVID-19 response through various research, advisory, and technical roles. We are committed to engaging in the rapidly evolving dialogue on the ethical dimensions of the response, and are considering how lessons learned in other humanitarian crisis contexts may shed light on best practices for COVID-19. We will continue to update this page as they are developed.
