The COVID-19 pandemic exposed profound ethical tensions in public health decision-making across Europe and India. This preliminary communication compares selected EU and Indian experiences through a narrative review of published ethical analyses covering triage, digital surveillance, research ethics, vaccine governance, migrant vulnerabilities, and the protection of fundamental rights. Literature was identified through systematic searches of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using terms related to COVID-19 ethics, public health measures, triage, digital epidemiology, and vaccine governance. The review highlights how emergency public health measures frequently collide with the principles of equity, dignity, proportionality, transparency, and democratic accountability. EU literature emphasises the fragility of rights-based systems during crises, while Indian analyses draw attention to resource scarcity, digital inequities, and the ethical complexities of large-scale behavioural interventions. By placing these perspectives within a common analytical framework, this paper identifies convergent concerns: the risk of normalising emergency powers, unequal burdens on disadvantaged groups, and insufficient ethical safeguards in technological and clinical responses. These findings underscore the need to strengthen bioethics frameworks that can guide responses to future pandemics in diverse sociopolitical contexts.
