Healthcare modem

In the current, price-sensitive environment, which is the hallmark of modem healthcare and certainly new drug development, expenses necessary to support clinical research are a major concern for sponsors. Both fixed and variable costs can be managed effectively compared to complete in-house development budgets. As product development costs are a significant element influencing pharmaceutical pricing, the role of innovative CROs is expected to grow.

The modem world benefits from, but often takes for granted, these crucial elements of the dmg discovery process. Nevertheless, to strive to improve and solve the healthcare needs for the betterment of mankind is a truly noble goal. 

Pharmaceuticals remain an essential part of healthcare and the advances of modem medicine would have been impossible without the contribution of the many companies that pursue R D. The media and public often forget the role of the industry in developing new drags - as the attention shifts to the high prices of its products. Between 1970 and 2000, pharmaceutical companies have been responsible for the majority of the 1,400 new molecular entities (NMEs) laimched as human therapeutics (1), which have made major contributions to improvement in healthcare The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) notes that eight of the current top ten worldwide prescription pharmaceutical products have their origins in US R D and that...
