title: [Wisdom of the World Medical Association (to one forgotten anniversary)].
abstract: The idea to found an international medical organization was born in July 1945 at the informal conference of doctors from several countries which was held in London. This date represents the very beginning of The World Medical Association. We can therefore celebrate its 70th anniversary and above all to congratulate WMA for keeping the true wisdom of medical ethics and therefore also the integrity of the medical profession to this day. In any medical decision the best interest of individual patient should be considered first.
