For Our Community
Take part in clinical research.
Clinical trials give participants access to investigational treatments and attentive medical monitoring, while helping to advance medicine for everyone in our community and beyond.
The Basics
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a carefully designed research study that tests whether a new medicine or vaccine is safe and effective. Every trial follows a strict protocol reviewed by an independent ethics committee, and is conducted to international Good Clinical Practice standards.
At Botho Ke Bontle, your safety and wellbeing always come first. Taking part is entirely voluntary, you may ask questions at any time, and you are free to withdraw from a study at any point without affecting your regular medical care.
