About National Health Research

The NHREC stands for the National Health Research Ethics Committee in Nigeria. It is a regulatory body responsible for ensuring ethical standards in health research within the country. The NHREC oversees the approval and monitoring of health research to protect the rights, safety, and well-being of research participants. We provide guidelines for ethical conduct in research, particularly in studies involving human subjects.

The committee ensures that all research adheres to national and international ethical guidelines, such as those from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Declaration of Helsinki.
