Research biobanks and health databases: the WMA Declaration of Taipei, added value to European legislation (soft and hard law)

Résumé

Biobanks and health databases make an essential contribution to health-related research (‘5P medicine’: predictive/preventive/personalised/participatory/provable). Since 1947, the World Medical Association ( WMA ) has addressed important issues in medical practice and scientific research, adopting guidelines that are recognised as global ethical standards. In October 2016, the WMA ’s 67th General Assembly, held in Taipei, Taiwan, adopted a new Declaration on the Ethical Considerations regarding Health Databases and Biobanks, revising the Declaration adopted by the 53rd WMA General Assembly in 2002. Considering the way health databases and biobanks are currently used in research, the new recommendations are designed to facilitate the responsible collection and storage of human samples and/or associated data, and the provision of these bioresources for scientific research aimed at benefitting patients and populations. We analyse the Declaration of Taipei’s scope and content, highlighting its innovative features compared with other recent European guidelines and the General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ).
