Abstract
Abstract: Public health is the societal approach to protecting and promoting health. Public
health ethics can be defined as the identification, analysis, and resolution of ethical
problems arising in public health practice and research. The emerging interest in ethical
issues in public health research and practice reflects both the important societal role of
public health and the growing public interest in the scientific integrity of health
information and the equitable distribution of health care resources. This article provides an
overview of ethical issues in public health research for young researchers and readers who
do not necessarily have an in-depth knowledge of public health ethics. A framework of
ethics analysis geared specifically for public health is needed to provide practical guidance
for public health professionals and researchers in Bangladesh. Bangladesh Medical
Research Council is playing a role in setting a standard in the field of biomedical research
including public health concerning its strategy and ethical issues and by helping different
health institutes to build up a research environment. Though public policy is based on
many factors in addition to public health goals and ethical reasoning, it should not lead to
the politically preferable option for a given time.
