Abstract
The Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) is an international, nongovernmental and nonprofit organization that was created in 1949 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and The United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In 2010, CIOMS brought together over 55 international and national organizations from biomedical disciplines, national academies of sciences and medical research councils. Through its activities, CIOMS seeks to facilitate and promote international activities in biomedical sciences, by maintaining relations with the United Nations and its specialized agencies, especially WHO and UNESCO.
