About CBEC

The Centre of Biomedical Ethics and Culture (CBEC) was inaugurated in SIUT on October 8, 2004. CBEC, located in Karachi, is the first such Centre in Pakistan. The primary reason behind its establishment was the growing realization of the importance of education in the field of biomedical ethics, and the absence of an institution dedicated to do so in the country.  

The central goals of CBEC include serving as an academic and intellectual national resource, helping to produce ethical researchers and healthcare professionals and enhancing bioethical education and research relevant to Pakistan and the region. The underlying objective of its activities is to assist in capacity building of faculty and staff in biomedical ethics and help produce ethical professionals.

The Centre also aims towards building national, regional, and international bridges and to enrich contemporary discourse in bioethics.

Upcoming Event: PGD and MBE Module 3, "Clinical Ethics," September 20 - 28, 2010
