Dear HIFA colleagues,

On behalf of the HIFA Steering Group, I am delighted to welcome Bangladesh Bioethics Society as a new Supporting Organisation.

'Bangladesh Bioethics Society (BBS) is working to promote strong ethical values, the practice of ethics, and morality among the different stakeholders to prevent corruption, uphold human rights, and promote good governance. BBS was established in 2009 under the auspice of RUSHSAP (Regional Unit for Social and Human Science in Asia and the Pacific) UNESCO, Bangkok, and UNESCO Dhaka, launched by H.E. Nurul Islam Nahid, Former Minister for Education, the People's Republic of Bangladesh.'
