-
The establishment of the Qatar National Health Research Ethics Committee
-
The development of national policies and regulations
-
The establishment of a systematic model of review committees registration and institutional assurances.
-
The protection of safety and wellbeing of research participants to ensure public trust via monitoring and inspection of research activities
