Editorial

Even though summer has brought us warmer temperatures and hopefully some joyful activities during our summer breaks, the COVID-19 pandemic still poses a range of ethical challenges, among them vaccine hesitancy in various countries, nationalism in vaccine distribution and ongoing national isolation resulting in reduced international travel.

Adapting to the current situation, the EACME conference in Cluj will be held in a hybrid format this year with the possibility of participating either onsite or online. In the future, this new format will surely provide opportunities for those who are not able to attend such events in person, making conferences even more inclusive.

In this edition of the EACME Newsletter, Maria Aluas provides some introductory information on this year’s conference. In addition, the authors cover topics relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, such as the use of artificial intelligence for anti- covid vaccines by J. Agnolucci & L. Caenazzo and a perspective on applying pandemonium ethics to the pandemic by S. Cox.

Apart from that, J. Martin presents an argument for the responsibilities of health care professionals towards the climate crisis and G. Birchley and N. Bhatia present their newly established network to address the challenge of paediatric medical tourism.

We also have another permanent section in the newsletter: Beside the section where PhD students can present their theses, the new section highlights EACME member institutes – first new members and then existing ones. In this issue, H. Soofi presents his PhD thesis on the ethical sides of antipsychotic treatment in dementia care, while R. Jox and E. Martinez introduce the Lausanne Institute of Humanities in Medicine, Switzerland – our new EACME member institute.

On behalf of the editorial board we wish you a fruitful and enriching EACME conference 2021 – this time both online and in person.

Very best wishes, Caroline Brall
