Pharma Services Network has launched PharmaTours, a new clinical research and CMC service for simplifying the process of scouting and selecting outsourcing CRO and CRAM partners in India.
The new service is intended to "help pharmaceutical companies accomplish a year’s worth of vendor selection work in just one intensive week of in-country CRO site visits," according to a company statement. “One of the hardest parts of doing business in India is identifying reliable, FDA-audited clinical research service providers. You can attend all the trade shows you want, but to get the whole story, you’ve got to go to India. You will see first-hand how these companies work, their people, instrumentation, SOPs, cleanliness, and dedication. Ask questions, get answers, and determine for yourself if this is the place for you to do business,” said Jim Worrell, Pharma Services Network's chief executive officer.
“Like the IT industry of the late ’90’s, the life science industry is slowly but surely tilting in India’s direction. The combination of cost, knowledge, and patient availability make it too attractive to deny outsourcing clinical trials,” said Guy Worth, the company's chief scientific officer.
The PharmaTours registration website contains tour overviews, detailed itineraries, pricing, hotel and travel information, and a registration form.
