SYDNEY, May 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — George Clinical, a global scientifically-backed clinical research organization (CRO), has again expanded its extensive Asia-Pacific footprint through the opening of a new office in the Philippines.

Through the development of this entity, George Clinical looks forward to working with sponsors to make the most of the benefits that running a clinical trial in the Philippines will provide.”
Historically, The Philippines has a particularly strong track record in the conduct of infectious diseases, oncology, metabolic disorders, respiratory and cardiovascular trials.
