Section Ethics in Public Health, EUPHA.

Public Health (PH) in Europe has become much more vocal about its moral understandings since 1992. The rising awareness that PH issues were inseparable from issues of human rights and social justice almost self-evidently directed the agenda of EUPHA and the European Public Health (EPH)-conferences. Problems of cultural and behavioural change, and environmental issues on a global scale were also added. The Section Ethics in PH invited the EPH community to join in 'arm chair thinking': coming together at conferences not only to share the 'how' and 'what' of PH research, practices and policies but also the 'why'. Time has been reserved to genuinely discuss what moral values are at stake in the work of PH and to actively develop a moral language and framework for PH Ethics. The challenge for the next decades is to find ways to involve the general public in the cultivation of a shared moral PH literacy.
自1992年以来，欧洲的公共卫生（PH）在其道德认知方面变得更加直言不讳。人们日益认识到，公共卫生问题与人权和社会正义问题密不可分，这几乎不言而喻地主导了欧洲公共卫生协会（EUPHA）和欧洲公共卫生（EPH）会议的议程。文化和行为改变问题以及全球范围内的环境问题也被纳入其中。公共卫生伦理部门邀请公共卫生界人士参与“扶手椅思考”：在会议上相聚，不仅要分享公共卫生研究、实践和政策的“如何做”和“做什么”，还要分享“为何做”。已经预留时间来真正讨论公共卫生工作中涉及哪些道德价值观，并积极为公共卫生伦理发展一种道德语言和框架。未来几十年的挑战是找到让公众参与培养共同的公共卫生道德素养的方法。
