Adopted by the 37th World Medical Assembly,
Brussels, Belgium, October 1985 and editorially revised with a name
change at the 170th Council Session, Divonne-les-Bains, France,
May 2005
The World Medical Association is in favour of equality of opportunity
in medical association activities, medical education and training,
employment, and all other medical professional endeavours regardless
of race, colour, religion, creed, ethnic affiliation, national origin,
sex, age or political affiliation.
The World Medical Association is unalterably opposed to the denial
of membership privileges and responsibilities in National Medical
Associations to any duly registered physician because of race,
colour, religion, creed, ethnic affiliation, national origin,
sex, age or political affiliation.
The World Medical Association calls upon the medical profession
and all individual members of National Medical Associations to
exert every effort to prevent any instance in which such equal
rights, privileges or responsibilities are denied.
