The Forum for Ethical
Review Committees in Asia and the Western Pacific Region (FERCAP)
was organized as the result of the realization that ethics requires
collective wisdom and countries in the Asia Pacific region need
to address issues related to human subject protection in biomedical
and behavioral research.
FERCAP was conceived at the Ethical Review Workshop
in Bangkok on January 12, 2000 after much thought and deliberation
among a group of medical experts and bioethicists that included
Dr. Juntra Karbwang, Dr.Vichai Chokevivat, Dr. Bryant, Dr. Reider
Lee, Dr. Vasantha Muthuswamy and Dr. Francis Crawley. The objective
was to foster an improved understanding and better implementation
of ethical review of biomedical researches in the region. FERCAP
is an organization of researchers and members of Ethical Review
Committees who are committed to the protection of human subjects
and the promotion of ethics as the cornerstone for research capacity
building in the region. |
