eMJA: Multicentre research: negotiating the ethics approval obstacle course The HREC might also have the responsibility of ensuring that the tasks required for successful completion of research can be performed without compromising the standard of care of the health facilities in which the research is to be performed. The project in question required the extraction of medical records — someone has to do this and be paid for the task. While centralisation of human research ethics approval might make the task of approval of research faster, each administrative unit has to be able to decide whether to allow participation in a project given its current level of service demand.
