Discusses cultural applications of voluntary informed consent to protect candidates in African healthcare, suggesting international collaboration is essential.

Dismissing cultural and ethical skepticism surrounding the global application of the principle of voluntary informed consent, the paper ultimately concludes that international collaboration on diagnostic and therapeutic medical research in Africa, especially HIV vaccine trials, is a moral imperative.
