Description: A report on ethical considerations in preparedness and planning for pandemic influenza by the University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics
Abstract: Plans to deal with an influenza pandemic need to be founded on widely held ethical values, so that people understand in advance the kinds of choices that will have to be made. Decision makers and the public need to be engaged in the discussions about ethical choices, so plans reflect what most people will accept as fair, and good for public health. The Pandemic Influenza Working Group at the University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics (JCB) has developed a 15-point ethical guide for planning and decision-making for a pandemic. They have identified four key ethical issues that need to be addressed in pandemic planning, and made specific recommendations for each. The four major issues are: 1) health workers’ duty to provide care during a communicable disease outbreak; 2) restricting liberty in the interest of public health by measures such as quarantine; 3) priority setting, including the allocation of scarce resources such as vaccines and antiviral medicines; and 4) global governance implications, such as travel advisories.
