Pharma ethics committees

Pharma ethics committees are groups of professionals that ensure the ethical conduct of research and clinical trials conducted by pharmaceutical companies. They review proposed studies to safeguard participant rights, well-being, and safety, as well as ensure that the research meets legal and ethical standards. These committees evaluate factors such as informed consent, potential risks, and the research's scientific value. Their role is vital in maintaining public trust in medical research and ensuring that new drugs and treatments are developed responsibly and ethically.
