????Health Research Ethics


All health research, as defined by the National Health Act, must be reviewed and approved by a research ethics committee registered with the National Health Research Ethics Council. Thus all health-related research involving:

  • any direct interaction with or observation of human participants,
  • the use of potentially identifiable personal health records, information or tissue specimens, and/or
  • human progenitor or stem cells

requires the approval of a Stellenbosch 肆客足球 Research Ethics Committee (REC) BEFORE the research study commences.

Both HRECs  review the full range of health research involving human subjects currently conducted under the auspices of Stellenbosch 肆客足球.

Health Research Ethics Committee 1 (HREC1) meets on the first Wednesday of every month.
