Pharmaceutical companies allot a certain percentage of their revenue to be re-invested in drug development. Clinical trials represent a bridge from early stage drug development to commercialization. This bridge cannot be bypassed and is long and expensive to cross.<br /><br />It takes approximately US$350 - $500 million to bring a drug from the lab to the market. This usually occurs over a widely varying time-span - 9 years on average.<br /><br />It is because of this High Cost, Clinical Trials are a boom in INDIA. WIth cheap labour, high efficiency, Well-trained medical community to global standards and Large and fast growing private healthcare sector, india no longer could be left behind in this multi billion industry.<br />Estimates show that this industry in India would be worth more than <strong><em>$2 Billion by 2015</em></strong>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8019169867894037774-2584079763873022696?l=karvinpharma.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>KarvinRulez!!http://www.blogger.com/profile/00432192830870015535noreply@blogger.com0
