Continued Growth in India's Clinical Trials

We've been frequently updating you on the rise in Clinical Trials in India, another news story on this growth has come up today that we wanted you to be aware of.

From Press Trust of India:

Clinical trials in India to test the safety and efficacy of newly invented drugs or medical devices have shown a huge growth and registered nearly a five-fold increase in the last four years, a top official said today."In 2005, around 100 clinical trials had been approved in the country by the Drugs Controller of India (DCI). In 2006, it increased to around 150 and to 240 in 2007. In the current year, around 450 have already been approved," Joint Drugs Controller of India, A B Ramteke, told reporters on the sidelines of a conference here today.

What do you make of this rise in Indian Clinical Trials? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
