Summary:Ndebele examines the 2013 version of the Declaration of Helsinki. Over the years, research oversight has improved but has led to the underrepresentation of certain groups in research investigations. The new version of the Declaration of Helsinki is more relevant to countries with limited resources because it includes clear terms that address issues of importance in these settings, such as posttrial access to interventions and care for participants from limited-resource settings. The new version also addresses several issues related to the dissemination of health research information; including registration of trials in publicly accessible databases and publication of negative, inconclusive, and positive results.
