20世纪初，苏丹的卫生研究主要是作为英国殖民政府的职能而发展起来的。苏丹医疗专业的道德问题由苏丹医学委员会管理。为了解决这些问题，苏丹医学理事会于1967年颁布了《医学-法律和道德准则》。这份重要的文件主要关注临床医学中出现的伦理问题。纵观苏丹卫生研究的历史，很难找到任何涉及研究伦理的内容。尽管如此，已经有一些尝试阐明健康研究中的伦理。1979年，苏丹见证了第一个伦理审查委员会的成立，该委员会是由国家卫生研究实验室的一组医生和科学家倡议设立的。这个委员会既没有得到政治上的承认，也没有得到制度上的承认。因此，它没有得到发展，并在成立后不久就结束了。然而，2000年，FMOH建立了一个伦理审查委员会（ERC）。该委员会的职能是审查拟在该国开展的卫生研究的伦理问题建议，而不考虑供资机构。不幸的是，该委员会把所有的工作都用于审查外部资助的卫生研究和由外籍研究人员或国际组织进行的研究。
At the beginning of the twentieth century, health research in the Sudan developed primarily as a function of the colonial British administration. Ethical issues in the medical profession in the Sudan are governed by the Sudan Medical Council. To address these issues, the Sudan Medical Council issued Medico-legal and Ethical Guidelines in 1967. This important document has focused principally on ethical issues arising in clinical medicine. Throughout the history of health research in Sudan it is very difficult to find any reference to research ethics. Nevertheless, there have been a few attempts to articulate ethics in health research. In 1979, Sudan witnessed the establishment of the first ethical review committee, which was established by the initiative of a group of doctors and scientists from the national health research laboratory. This committee got neither political nor institutional recognition. Therefore, it was not developed and came to an end shortly after its inception. Yet, in 2000 the FMOH established an ethical review committee (ERC). The functions of this committee were to review proposals of health research to be carried out in the country for ethical issues irrespective to the funding agents. Unfortunately, the committee devoted all the jobs in reviewing only externally-sponsored health research and research carried out by expatriate researchers or international organisations.
