The WHO Guidelines on Ethical Issues in Public Health Surveillance is the
first international framework of its kind, it fills an important gap. The
goal of the guideline development project was to help policymakers and
practitioners navigate the ethical issues presented by public health
surveillance. This document outlines 17 ethical guidelines that can assist
everyone involved in public health surveillance, including officials in
government agencies, health workers, NGOs and the private sector.

Surveillance, when conducted ethically, is the foundation for programs to
promote human well-being at the population level. It can contribute to
reducing inequalities: pockets of suffering that are unfair, unjust and
preventable cannot be addressed if they are not first made visible. But
surveillance is not without risks for participants and sometimes poses
ethical dilemmas. Issues about privacy, autonomy, equity, and the common
good need to be considered and balanced, and knowing how to do so can be
challenging in practice.
