Welcome to Vector Control Division - Research Ethics Committee (VCD-REC)
Vector Control Division (VCD) was established in 2003. It is an REC that has been functioning under the supervision of Uganda National Council of Science and Technology (UNCST).
The purpose of the REC is reviewing health research so as to contribute in safeguarding the dignity, rights, safety, and well being of all actual or potential research participants. The principles of “respect for the dignity of persons” require that each person should be treated as an independent entity, capable of making decisions about themselves and their personal aspirations. The VCD-REC has always tried to ensure that the principle of “justice” is observed.
