History, Anthropology & Ethics of Health

Prof. Dr. med. Walter Bruchhausen Head Section Global Health About History, Anthropology & Ethics of Global Health A new value basis that emphasizes human rights, equity and respect for sociocultural differences distinguishes Global Health from its many predecessors since the colonial era. Thus, ethics, anthropology and history are indispensable parts of Global Health and stood at the beginnings of this new area and era in Bonn, too. Global Health Ethics Medical Anthropology Global Health History Local Health History + News News × 2025: Invited by the network of Clinical Ethics Committees in NRW and the Bonn Out-patient Ethics Committee Walter Bruchhausen gave two talks on Cross-cultural issues in ethical counselling. 2024: On invitation of the Institute of Christian Social Ethics at Münster University, the section head who had published a working paper and a yearbook chapter on the social ethics of Global Health before gave a seminar for senior students (PhD and master). 2019: The Justitia et Pax Germany working group on ‘Human rights and cultural traditions – reflexions and test case Right to Health’ where the section head was a member published its final report: justitia-et-pax.de/jp/publikationen/pdf/guf_139.pdf + Recent Publications Recent Publications × Bruchhausen W (2024b) Women’s Health, Culture, and Ethics—Anthropological and Socio-Ethical Aspects in Global Health, in: Wacker J, Rothe C, En-Nosse M (ed.), Global Women’s Health.

Downie +), relevant areas of moral theology (Prof. Bernhard Fraling/Würzburg + and Gerhard Höver/Bonn) and the ethical workshops for (future) physicians (initiated by Prof. Ludger Honnfelder/Bonn) that became a starting point for the two ethics institutions IWE and DRZE in Bonn, Walter Bruchhausen began teaching in biomedical and clinical ethics at Bonn University in 1997. In cooperation with several partners, this led to a lasting institutionalization of ethics in the medical faculty and the university hospital, both in teaching and counselling. Global Health Ethics Beyond rather individualistic medical ethics, especially the ‘principles of biomedical ethics’ of US origin, designed for high-income clinical and research settings, global health ethics has taken up comprehensive perspectives: more universally oriented approaches like human rights, social ethics and equity, but also more context-sensitive ones like care ethics, communitarian, Neo-Aristotelian or virtue ethics ‘of the good’ and various faith-based ethics.

Medical Anthropology For the social and cultural aspects of Global Health, now the area of the new professorship in Bonn, medical anthropology has been developed at the Bonn Medical Faculty since the early 1990s.  Since then, internationally recognized expertise has been built particularly in the areas of spirituality/religion and health/medicine, ‘traditional medicine’ in East Africa and cross-cultural health care ethics.
