Abstract
Several ethical standards defined in guidelines for international biomedical research in humans have outlined what is considered just in research conducted in middle to low-income countries. Compliance with the standards outlined by these guidelines results in direct benefits to the health of the patients, who benefit from improvements in infrastructure, increased local research capacity, and decrease in the burden of disease. In an overall view of the ethical standards, the benefits that need to be distributed equitably can be classified as: addressing the needs and/or priorities of the local research, making posttrial benefits available, fostering ancillary-care benefits, making the new theoretical and practical knowledge available, supporting health services as well as health and ethics research, and including in the informed consent the potential benefits that can be expected. It is necessary that those who deal with international research have knowledge about these ethical guidelines and their potential benefits to public health.
