Abstract
Verifying compliance with ethical principles of health research legitimizes it in society and allows the resolution of ethical dilemmas that emerge from new research concerns and methods. Resolution 8430 of 1993 is one of the main ethical guidelines that governs health research on human beings in Colombia. Considering that the resolution has not been revised or updated since its promulgation, it becomes necessary to evaluate its currency and sufficiency to address the potential ethical dilemmas in the existing country’s health research. Some gaps, contradictions and aspects that require a deep review are detailed in this paper, assuming a wide conception of health research areas and methods. After discussing the main weaknesses and inaccuracies, some alternative are proposed, so that the resolution can answer to the actual needs in health research with human beings.
