Doha, Qatar: Chairperson of Qatar Foundation (QF) HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser witnessed today, June 4, the inauguration of the 17th World Congress of Bioethics in Doha - the first edition of this touchstone event to be held in the Arab World under the theme of "Religion, Culture and Global Bioethics"

This year's Congress was hosted by HBKU's Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics (CILE) at the College of Islamic Studies (CIS) in collaboration with World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH), the global health initiative of Qatar Foundation. Sponsored by the Ministry of Public Health, Hamad Medical Corporation, and the Primary Health Care Corporation, this edition of the Congress was organised with support from the International Association of Bioethics (IAB).

The event has gathered over 1,000 participants - including bioethicists, researchers, and stakeholders - to engage in a dialogue centered on vital issues in bioethics, especially in religious and cultural contexts. The event had a special panel discussion, which featured members of the IABs executive leadership delving into the significance of the theme alongside distinguished figures from across academic and bioethics research.
