About this statute

This provision states that the law’s purpose is to set guiding principles for scientific research on human beings, protect human research participants, and create a research ethics committee. This provision says the law applies to scientific research on a human being in specified fields, and a ministerial order may add other fields. This article defines key terms used in the law on research ethics. The Rwanda National Research Ethics Committee (RNEC) is established, and the Minister is to determine its responsibilities, organisation, powers, and functioning. RNEC operates independently, but it is supervised by the Ministry responsible for health.
