Quintiles Extends Asia Operations With Opening of Vietnam Office

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (ots/PRNewswire)

- Now has clinical development offices in eight Asia countries
Quintiles Transnational Corp. today announced the extension of its
Asia operations with the opening of an office in Hanoi, Vietnam.
"Vietnam is an increasingly important market in the region, with
its population of 80 million, a strong educational system and a
robust healthcare industry," said Michael Stibilj, Executive
Director, Clinical Development Services, Southeast Asia. "Economic
growth in Vietnam has been averaging more than 7.5% over the past 10
years."
In addition to its large population, Vietnam has an urban hospital
infrastructure comparable to other Southeast Asian countries, doctors
who have trained in Europe or the U.S., and tremendous motivation to
participate in international clinical trials, Stibilj said. The
Vietnam Ministry of Health recently issued a revised set of
guidelines for the conduct of clinical trials, thereby setting a
consistent regulatory framework for clinical trials.
Quintiles will also work closely with the Vietnam Ministry of
Health to increase the number of sites trained in Good Clinical
Practice, which are the regulatory standards designed to assure the
accuracy of information obtained in clinical trials while protecting
the rights and confidentiality of patients and other volunteers
participating in the trials.
Stibilj added, "The opening of our representative office shows our
commitment to our customers wanting to work in Vietnam and to the
development of the clinical research industry in Vietnam and the
region." Quintiles emphasizes local language skills, clinical
knowledge and regulatory expertise, so Vietnamese clinical research
monitors will be employed by Quintiles in Vietnam, he said.
