National Ethics Committee

A National Ethics Committee is a formal group of experts that oversees ethical standards in research and practices related to health, medicine, and biomedicine. Its role is to review and approve studies involving human participants to ensure they are conducted responsibly, safely, and with respect for individuals’ rights. The committee helps prevent unethical behavior and protects public trust by ensuring that research adheres to moral principles and legal requirements. Essentially, it acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that scientific progress benefits society without compromising ethical values.
