SCMC-AEI Ethics Review Commitee SOP
The SCMC-AEI Ethics Review Committee is responsible for ensuring the protection of the rights, safety and welfare of study participants and the whole community. It provides ethical reviews for all clinical, operational and policy research projects in the Philippines, based on local and international standards and guidelines.
Established in 2002, the committee has reviewed over 100 researches – both sponsored clinical trials and investigator-initiated researches. 11 years later, it expanded its scope by reviewing health policies and operational studies.
As its sets its sight on creating a more independent, diverse and well-rounded committee, Asian Eye partnered with St. Frances Cabrini Medical Center (SCMC), an accredited third level referral hospital in Sto. Tomas, Batangas that specializes in cancer and organ transplant services. This partnership allows both institutions to review researches that concern overall health.
In March 2016, the SCMC-AEI Ethics Review Committee was granted Level 3 Accreditation by the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB). PHREB develops standards and guidelines to ensure that ethics review committees are efficient and effective.
