The major therapeutic areas of research carried out by contract research organizations in South Africa include infectious diseases especially HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, oncology, etc.
South Africa has a well established clinical research sector due to its large diverse population, good research infrastructure, and a strong pharmaceutical sector. Initiatives such as the South African Clinical Research Association (SACRA),a non-profit organization that seeks to promote clinical research in the country.
However, the sector still face major challenges like funding and the regulatory bottlenecks.
The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) is the regulatory body that approves all clinical trials in South Africa.
