CLINICAL SUPPLY CHAIN STEERING COMMITTEE
MISSION STATEMENT
Despite playing host to 17.5% of the global population, the continent is dramatically underrepresented in clinical trials – only 2.5% of clinical trials take place in Africa. The opportunity to conduct comparatively cheap research with a diverse patient population is huge where genetics can be a causal factor for cancer. Building a collaborative network of drug development exerts and overcoming the impediments of clinical research by providing CRO services and laboratory supplies, equipment and consumables. The success factors of patient enrollment, drug delivery, compliance, monitoring and returns will also be pursued.
