Havana, May 20 (Prensa Latina) With the Covid-19 pandemic, the term clinical trial is becoming more popular among the Cuban population, a research methodology used for the first time in 1747 and celebrates its international day this Thursday.
The Cuban healthcare information network, Infomed, stressed that the objective of this celebration is to disclose to public in general what the work of research consists to obtain a vaccine or a medicine.
This date was chosen as a tribute to the first clinical trial in history conducted by Scottish physician James Lind in 1747, which laid the foundation for modern clinical research.
