Clinical Research

  • Our clinical operation group can manage your clinical development programmes effectively through comprehensive site management, optimal study start-up, patient recruitment and robust monitoring. We are aware of the clients’ need of meeting the project delivery timelines and budget. This will remain our watch words from the time the project contract is signed to its conclusion.

Quality Assurance & Audits

  • The need for audit is well-established in GCP and many regulations. The importance of audit, especially of partners, cannot be over-emphasized.

    It is very challenging, for example, for a QPPV that is based in a Belgian office to keep the required oversight of the company’s marketing partner in Bahrain effectively. It is challenging to ensure that the Bahraini partner has the pharmacovigilance system in place and is maintaining the required compliance with local regulations and the inter-company pharmacovigilance agreement.

    This is where we come in. We can audit your partner and provide your organization with a full report and recommendations.
