Site Readiness
Prepare research sites with the infrastructure, people, workflows, and quality systems needed to run studies to international standards.
Overview
About Site Readiness
Many health institutions in Africa have the patients, clinical expertise, and motivation to participate in global research but need support to meet sponsor and regulatory expectations.
Our site readiness services help institutions assess where they stand and close the gaps, from equipment and storage to staff training and quality management, so they can take part in high-quality research with confidence.
