National Policy Measures and Requirements for the Improvement of Health Research Co-ordination in Malawi — Revised Edition
Complete November 2012 revised policy: all 24 physical pages, twelve main sections, four footnotes, nine reference entries and original page images. It builds on the 2005 edition and cites sections 18 and 48 of the 2003 Act. The policy addresses human health/biomedical research, the historical NHSRC/COMREC jurisdictions, multicentre studies, study extension and institutional affiliation. Section 8 expressly concerns trials involving pharmaceutical products; its sequential ethics/drug-authority approval and amendment requirements are not generalized to independent medical devices. Four weeks concerns an optional pre-submission meeting request. Section 9 requires continuing review and addresses studies not started within one year; it supplies no general variation-review deadline. The 120 days from 1 March 2013 concerns the historical MOU transition, rather than the effective date of the entire policy. Original wording and references remain unchanged. The two-committee statement is not presented as a verified 2026 inventory. The 2005 predecessor, current committee recognition/SOPs, references and later implementation remain under review; excluded from default current-law discovery.
