How Global Clinical Trials Began In Malaysia

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or heart failure, some of the drugs you’re taking for treatment may have been tested right here in Malaysia. Our country plays an important role in international clinical trials, a pivotal step in drug research that determines whether a therapy is safe and effective when you use it. On the show, we explore a retrospective of how clinical trial research developed in Malaysia, and how the country positioned itself as a hub for international clinical trials.
