“Why Bangladesh? Why now?”

“Bangladesh is where clinical opportunity meets global relevance. With a population of 170+
million, high disease burden, fast patient recruitment, and an expanding healthcare
infrastructure — the country is primed for efficient, impactful trials. Regulatory processes are
evolving, English is widely used in clinical practice, and costs remain significantly lower than in
Western markets — without compromising quality.

Now is the time to invest in a research ecosystem powered by skilled clinicians, experienced
trial managers, and a population ready to contribute to global health science. Bangladesh isn’t
just emerging — it’s ready.”
