The 83% problem: clinical trials fail the Global South
Original: The 83% problem: Why clinical trials fail the Global South and how we can close the equity gap
A new analysis highlights that roughly 83% of clinical trials fail to adequately include populations in the Global South, leaving large parts of the world underrepresented in medical research. Commentators argue this deepens health inequities, as drugs and treatments are developed and tested mainly in wealthy countries. The discussion focuses on practical steps to close the gap, including local infrastructure, funding and fairer trial design.
Why now: Renewed debate over unequal representation of Global South populations in clinical research and possible reforms.
