The hospital's Institutional Review Board (IRB) was established in March 1999 and was originally known as the Medial Ethics & Institutional Review Board. Since 2010, the Medial Ethics & Institutional Review Board has been split into an Institutional Review Board and a Medical Ethics Board, and a separate Institutional Review Board has therefore come into existence. The IRB was founded under the Declaration of Helsinki, the Belmont Report, the Medical Care Act, the Human Subjects Research Act and the Regulations for Organization and Operation of Human Research Ethics Review Board to provide independent review of human research protocols to ensure the rights of subjects.
The IRB is composed of medical members with medical licenses and medical-related backgrounds, as well as non-medical members such as legal experts, social workers and other disinterested community members, of whom one is the chairperson and one is the deputy chairperson, with members sitting for a two-year term.
The IRB shall meet once a month and may hold ad hoc meetings when necessary. Meetings must be attended by at least half of the members of the IRB, including no less than one medical member, one non-medical member, one external member and members not of the same gender.
The IRB has been audited and approved by the central health authority, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, as the Human Research Ethics Review Board.
