The Joint Centre for Bioethics (JCB) is a network of more than 180 multidisciplinary professionals who improve health-care standards locally, nationally and internationally. As a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Bioethics, the Centre’s faculty and alumni play a vital role globally in planning and responding to pandemics, most recently during the West African Ebola epidemic.

The JCB celebrated its 20^th anniversary in December 2015. Its affiliated faculty, students, ethics practitioners, scholars and alumni are making significant contributions toward tackling complex health system challenges, such as physician assisted death, end-of-life care, priority setting, new technologies and, increasingly, primary and community care ethics.
