India among largest contributors of global solidarity trial: WHO on Covid

New Delhi: Chief Scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan on Monday said India is one of the largest contributors of the global solidarity trial.

“World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up a global solidarity platform because it recognised that multiple small clinical trials will be done but will not be leading conclusive results,” Dr Swaminathan said during the opening ceremony of the seminar of PANEX-21.

Officials said that India is one of the largest contributors of the global solidarity trial coordinated by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) but occurring in countries across countries.
