Clinical Trials hold enormous potential for benefiting patients, improving therapeutic regimens and ensuring advancement in medical practice that is evidence based.
Clinical trials are conducted to allow safety and efficacy
data to be collected for health interventions (e.g., drugs, devices,
therapy protocols). These trials can only take place once satisfactory
information has been gathered on the quality of the non-clinical
safety, and Health Authority/Ethics Committee approval is granted in the country where the trial is taking place.

The availability of a large drug-naive patient population and well-trained medical professionals, coupled with sophisticated technological infrastructure have made India an attractive destination for conducting global clinical trials.
Let us discuss the pros and cons of clinical trials in India......

In a country like India we still don't have so much infrastructure which can make safe and unharmed clinical trials. In many cases, the trials which are done on human trials are unsafe without any safety backup. The trials in many cases are done...

Medical trials should not be taken by everybody. It has many side effects and if the body's immune power is not so strong, its better, the man should avoid it or else it may become harmful for him.

Integrity of any political party and its worthiness is judged from the way they conduct themselves in the Parliament and make themselves worthy to the people who elected them. Democracy is strangled when elected representatives, ignore the needs and aspirations of the people whom they represent. Democracy is strangled, when the political parties stoop down to use the communal feeling of one group against other to come to power and compelled to oppress other communities to appease its supporters. Democracy is strangled, when ‘Playing dirty Politics’ become the main business and theme of the Government and Political parties that support and oppose the government. "The Bitter Pills for India Reprieve" I wrote this in this community in toosteps.com few years back. The article is available in the following link in www.wordpress.com http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-5I

India-Iran Drama Continues If Iran really was behind the February 13 attack on an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi, Indian officials need be asking one key question: why? After all, despite the fact that India has voted against Iran twice at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), New Delhi has seemingly continued to have friendly relations with Tehran. And why would Iran choreograph an attack like this at a time when India is seriously engaged in trying to negotiate a complicated arrangement with Tehran to pay for oil it has bought? (India owes billions of dollars in lieu of oil it has already received over the years). One suggestion has been that Iran didn’t take the West-led censure motions at the IAEA as well it seemed, and could in effect be punishing a supposed ally for challenging it in an international forum in this way. Regardless, the Indian media has been surprisingly quite on the sensitive question of Iranian involvement. The device used by the lone perpetrator...
