India has become one of the foremost global destinations for clinical trials recently. CR is an attractive and lucrative industry for all medical and health care professions globally and in India specifically because it foresees tremendous growth and job opportunities due to its growing demand in the drug discovery and development process. The Indian clinical research industry is a very essential part of the pharmaceutical sector at an international platform to provide great economic support to the nation. According to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) report on pharmaceutical consumption, medicines to treat chronic diseases accounted for a larger volume of drug consumption in hospitals and non-hospital settings. Henceforth a large volume of medicines is made available to healthcare consumers.
