Rigorous Ethical Oversight

We have an Ethics Committee composed of a multidisciplinary team of independent individuals. This committee is appointed to review research protocols that involve human participants. Their role is to ensure the dignity, rights, safety, and well-being of all research participants are respected and protected. Furthermore, all of our research activities are conducted in accordance with the hospital's Research Governance Operational Procedures.

Generally, researchers must obtain written consent from participants before commencing any research. This is done after clearly explaining the full details of the study to the participants. Participants have the right to voluntarily choose whether to take part in the research or not. During participation, participants have a responsibility to follow the research guidelines and promptly notify the research team of any discomfort or issues they experience.

Research safety is of utmost importance to us. Union Hospital's research activities are evaluated annually. There were no serious adverse events, negative feedback or complaints received in 2024.
