Some clinical trial clients may not have access to a local IRB/EC. There may also be compelling reasons for an institution not to interact directly with the local IRB/EC and instead turn to a CRO instead. BEMA-Ug can attend to all requests and follow up with IRB/EC entities until final outcomes are met.
