Developing a Policy Statement and Recommendations for Pakistan’s Ethics Review Framework and IRBs in Support of Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response

This  project is set to assess the practices and procedures of ethics review during public health emergencies for health-related research in Pakistan. The project includes key decision makers, including members of the National Bioethics Committee and IRB members as well as policymakers, researchers, regulators, health professionals, and community and patient representatives. This project consortium is reviewing, discussing, and generating a policy statement and a set of recommendations intended to develop policy and guidance. The project is also intended to lead to the development of a Forum for Ethics Committees in Pakistan (FECP) to continue the ongoing development of ethics review practices in Pakistan.
