AurouSpeak - The quarterly newsletter from Aurous HealthCare CRO Vol 01 Ed 02 | Page 2

AurouSpeak From the Desk of MD……... It has been an eventful year in the sphere of clinical research. Our industry has been under the scanner by media and general public for reasons both the right and wrong. Nevertheless, light burns bright at the end of the tunnel, with the Government bringing reforms and streamlining the process of clinical research in the country. Every food and fruit we consume, the anti-aging cream and nourishing shampoo we use, every tablet or syrup that is prescribed touches and changes the life of a human being in some way. Given that the balance of disease-disorder versus treatments is not much in our favor, it is mandatory that the products are researched upon in ethically allowable, controlled environments as in clinical trials. Clinical studies help save lives. Enable doctors and researchers to make informed decisions about treatment modalities. Help us predict adverse reactions. Reinforce the safety and efficacy of home remedies and herbal medicines that have been handed down to us through generations. Worldwide, members of various governments are establishing reforms, guidelines and mandates, that does go to show that such studies are indispensible when it comes to the overall better and healthy living of mankind. Hopefully the new year will bring prospects that are brighter and more focused towards that goal! My hearty wishes for a healthy, happy and successful new year!!! With Best Regards, Dr. VT.
