Comité de Ética de Investigación en Salud (CEIS)

A CEIS is a multidisciplinary institutional setting that evaluates health research protocols, with the primary objective of protecting the rights of patients.

Its functions are carried out in accordance with strict provincial, national and international regulatory guidelines. Analyzes proposals for research and development of new techniques related to people's health from an ethical, legal and methodological perspective. This activity is carried out on projects financed by the pharmaceutical industry, as well as those generated by local scientists.

Each CEIS prepares its own operating regulations, and through the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), which must be approved by local and national regulatory authorities, controls that the scientific evidence and information generated in human health research is verifiable, ensuring the safety of participants, transparency in research and future access to knowledge by the community.
