E-DRUG: The ethics of industry-sponsored drug trials in Egypt
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-druggers,
In partnership with Wemos, SOMO, the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights
& Shamseya, the Berne Declaration published today a new report entitled
Industry-sponsored clinical drug trials in Egypt: Ethical Questions in a
Challenging Context.
This study brings new evidence that unethical practices occur in
industry-sponsored clinical trials conducted in Egypt, and that drugs tested
in Egypt are not systematically available to and mostly unaffordable for the
Egyptian population.
The report is available here:
