Abstract
MATEUS, Julio César et al. Does Resolution 8430 of 1993 respond to the current needs of ethics in health research with human beings in Colombia?. Biomédica [online]. 2019, vol.39, n.3, pp.448-463. Epub Sep 30, 2019. ISSN 0120-4157.
Verifying the compliance with the ethical principles of health research legitimizes its exercise in the eyes of the society and allows for the resolution of ethical dilemmas that emerge from new research interests and methods.
Resolution 8430 of 1993 is one of the main ethical guidelines governing health research on human beings in Colombia. Considering that the resolution has not been revised or updated since its promulgation it becomes necessary to evaluate its current validity and adequacy to address the potential ethical dilemmas in the existing country’s health research.
Some gaps, contradictions, and aspects that require a deep review are detailed in this paper from a wide conception of health research areas and methods. After discussing the main weaknesses and inaccuracies, some alternatives are proposed to adjust the resolution to the present needs in health research with human beings.
