Greece continues to figure in the lowest spots in the developed world in terms of attracting clinical studies, participants at a panel discussion organized by the Council of Competitiveness of Greece heard on Tuesday.
The advocacy organization (compete.gr) was founded nearly two years ago by a coterie of the country s biggest companies and business partners to promote policies that boost competitiveness in all fields.
According to figures presented at the online discussion, Greece s participation in global clinical studies ranks a paltry 0.67 percent, whereas reaching 1 percent translates into 10,000 patients receiving the latest innovative therapies.
