- Published on: 4 March 2022Ethical Committees a must for grass-root filed research
Dear authors,
Since I have worked in remotest of PHCs in Himachal Pradesh, India and now am supervising them, the most unfavorable atmosphere for embedded research at grass roots is non availability of ethical committees and due to that either doctor fail to do research in field conditions or their research is hijacked by the medical colleges as PIs . Most of the medical colleges don't allow outside field doctors to get ethical clearance and have condition that medical college faculty would be PI for any research proposal/project, only then anyone can get research proposal listed in IEC.
I am trying to have an ethical committee notified at the level of Directorate of health so that PHC doctors can also get ethical clearance for their research this paper is talking about.
Thanks for raising this issue at global level.
Regards,
Dr. Omesh Kumar Bharti, Field Epidemiologist
