Alberto taught us the reason. South Africa is a good place because it has a good university and very skilled people. Additionally, they can conduct clinical trials at lower costs than other countries. Therefore, it is an attractive place to do business.
These are some of the differences from Japan. In order to achieve the global development of medicine, it is necessary for us to understand the culture and regulatory requirements of each country.

Moreover, CROs enable medical companies to accelerate the development process 30% faster. This value brings to patients the increased likelihood of access new medical products in a more timely fashion.
Therefore, in simple terms, CROs are crucial collaborators throughout the development process.

Please take a look at this figure.
This shows the importance of CROs for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The vertical axis shows the minimum number of employees to develop products and the horizontal axis shows time.
The minimum number can vary from period to period, because these companies are unable to maintain a constant number of products. This is usually influenced by clinical trial stages and outcomes. If companies employed a surplus labor force, they may still spend wastefully. However, even if they have a smaller number of employees below the minimum number of employees, they can still outsource drug development to CROs so that it will
