The World Medical Association (WMA)

The World Medical Association (WMA) is an international organization representing physicians worldwide. Founded in 1947, it aims to promote the ethical practice of medicine, support human rights in healthcare, and improve global health standards. The WMA sets guidelines for medical ethics and standards, such as the Declaration of Geneva, which outlines the duties of physicians to their patients and society. By bringing together national medical associations from various countries, the WMA facilitates collaboration and communication among healthcare professionals to address global health issues and advocate for better healthcare policies worldwide.
