About the talk:
Investigator initiated pragmatic clinical trials rather than explanatory clinical trials are needed. Collaborative trials should give something back to the community. Let's collaborate on science, but on social and cultural aspects of health, local voices and agenda should have priority. There may be no uniform local voice, but the country's interest is imperative. Capacity building driven from a western perspective may fail. Health needs are sometimes served better by traditional medicine.
