H Plus Yangji Hospital Obtains Accreditation from Institutional Review Board Evaluation
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] H Plus Yangji Hospital announced on the 15th that it recently obtained certification in the ‘2021 Institutional Review Board (IRB)’ evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is an organization that autonomously reviews the ethical and scientific validity of research to protect research subjects in accordance with the 'Bioethics and Safety Act.' The evaluation and certification system of the board is a system designed to create an ethical research environment and secure the capability to protect research subjects.
The evaluation and certification system transitioned from a pilot project conducted from 2013 to 2020 to an official certification system last year. Among 311 institutions subject to the first cycle evaluation (2021?2023), the Ministry of Health and Welfare evaluated 53 institutions and granted certification to a total of 27 institutions (51%) that met all evaluation criteria, including the appropriateness of the board’s composition and operation. H Plus Yangji Hospital was the first non-university hospital to obtain certification.
H Plus Yangji Hospital’s Life Research Institute is equipped with the largest clinical trial center in Korea with a total of 364 beds and has conducted the highest number of biological equivalence tests, including phase 1 trials, in Korea for 10 consecutive years.
