One aim of this project is to establish a research group in Medical Ethics in Colombo, Sri Lanka which will be a resource group and a focal point for the examination of ethical issues in health care in Sri Lanka. The main focus of activities of this core group will be ethical issues in health policy. Another aim is to examine the common health policy problems faced by all health care systems in a comparative perspective. The project will be carried out through regular workshops in Sri Lanka and Norway. The main results of the collaboration will be working papers and position papers on health policy that address current concerns in health policy in Sri Lanka and in Norway. The project will also train a number of researchers in the field of ethics and health policy who can provide the needed expertise in this area in the future. The Project is funded by The Norwegian Universities' Committee for Development Research and Education (NUFU)
