Patient capital

Article Abstract:

India is becoming a center for carrying out clinical trials. Computer staff, nurses and researchers cost less in India, and there is a wide range of diseases from TB amd malaria to heart disease and cancer. Infrastructure for trials has been underdeveloped, and there are concerns about bureaucracy, as well as lack of protection for pharmaceutical patents. There are also ethical problems, both over whether participants are able to give informed consent, and whether they can afford the drugs being tested. These problems are being tackled, with new guidelines being drafted.
