  • Closing the Research Gap in Africa Through Decentralized Patient Engagement and Remote Trial Models

    Jan 16 | Clinical Research News | Africa remains one of the most important yet underleveraged regions in global drug development. The continent carries a substantial share of disease burden but contributes only a small fraction of clinical trial activity. This imbalance is not driven by scientific limitations or lack of patient interest. It reflects structural constraints that traditional site centric trial models have failed to overcome at scale.
