Ethics Committee for Clinical Research

An Ethics Committee for Clinical Research is a group of independent experts that reviews and monitors medical studies involving human participants. Their goal is to protect participants' rights, safety, and well-being by evaluating the study’s design, risks, and benefits before approval. They also oversee ongoing research to ensure ethical standards are maintained. This committee ensures that the research complies with legal and ethical guidelines, promotes transparency, and balances scientific progress with participant safety. Essentially, they serve as guardians ensuring clinical trials are conducted responsibly and ethically.
