World Medical Association (WMA)

The World Medical Association (WMA) is an international organization that represents physicians and advocates for medical ethics, health policy, and the rights of patients and doctors worldwide. Founded in 1947, it aims to improve global health standards, promote medical excellence, and ensure ethical practices in healthcare. The WMA also develops guidelines for medical practice, including the Declaration of Geneva, which emphasizes the commitment of doctors to uphold the highest ethical standards in their profession. By fostering collaboration among national medical associations, the WMA seeks to address global health challenges and ensure that medical professionals act in the best interest of their patients.
