Over the years, the Asian Bioethics Review (ABR) has discussed various bioethical aspects of innovation and technology in health. We have collected a number of these articles on this webpage, which currently lists our articles published in Volumes 13 and 14 (2021-2022). We will keep this page up-to-date with our most recent publications, as well as gradually add our older articles on this topic.
