ETHICS IN HEALTH RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS In 1984, the Council established the National Ethics Committee (NEC) to promote ethics review in health research. The NEC ensures that all biomedical researches involving human participants conform to international ethical principles and standards towards respect for the sanctity of life and dignity of man. The NEC put together the first set of country guidelines for the conduct of biomedical research in 1985. These guidelines served as directions for researches using human subjects. The guidelines subsequently underwent revisions in 1996 and 2000 to address various developments in health research including multicenter clinical trials, genetic research, and organ transplantation research. In 2003, the PNHRS Technical Working Group on Ethics recommended the establishment of the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB). The NEC evolved as a review committee for those without institutional ethics review boards. PHREB published the 2006 version of the National Ethics Guidelines. In 2008, PHREB’s database of research and ethics organizations was completed, containing information on Ethics Review Committees. In the international arena, PHREB participates in the Forum for Ethics Review in Asia and the Pacific (FERCAP). Â
