| 5.3.4 Boosting Clinical Research
The High Level Group considers the shortage of trained personnel to be the biggest challenge for improving the country’s competitiveness in the field of clinical research. The requirement is diversified and of substantial numbers. In line with the ideas outlined in Chapter I the Group recommends the establishment of a Clinical and Medical Research Council with the participation of the private sector for formulating, promoting and running training programmes for the area.
The Drugs Controllers office needs to be substantially strengthened and manned with personnel (including guest personnel from abroad) who are equipped with knowledge of the latest advances in medical research. A capacity building programme has to be undertaken and drugs testing facilities in terms of infrastructure and equipment augmented. A world class testing laboratory should be set up in the country in the PPP mode, where the Central Government gives assistance for construction of building and purchase of equipment but the management is undertaken by the private sector.
Arrangement needs to be made for accreditation of CROs for the purpose of certifying their adherence to Guidelines for Good Clinical Practices.
