Dear
Healthcare Professionals i.e. Doctors/Hospitals/Diagnostic Centers/Administrators of Health Institutes of India.
It is rare for an admin of an IT company to write letter to its client in following manner, but our today`s work and its results forced me to write this. Intention is to bring some hard facts to your knowledge and I apologize in advance if I hurt anyone`s sentiments.
Our clients are healthcare professionals which are highly qualified, self sufficient and at www.nueradr.com we respect our clients head to toe.
As all know this unprecedented novel covid-19 started from China. This country took the challenge and we saw many studies, papers albeit with defined methodology, design, data and statical analysis from China. Later on as infection took its foothold in Italy, Spain and France. We started seeing papers, studies, evidences pouring from these countries. Later when infection took pandemic path and posed new challenges to healthcare system all over the world we expect many more evidences which may pave path for future healthcare delivery system over world. It is speculated that when this pandemic will be over healthcare delivery in countries will see some major changes.
When I read one news that British Medical Fraternity demanded fast approval of clinical trial registry and ethical committee. Even more when government in no time accepted their demand and reduced approval time from 3 weeks to 1 week. Later United state follow same path of fast approval of clinical trials. I make my team to search for something like that happening in India.
We as a provider of healthcare IT solutions with focus on clinical trials, tried to analyze Indian scenario and in our attempt we opened up Indian clinical trial registry site www.ctri.nic.in  .  We tried to search site which is open for public to be searched. We started our search with keywords related to this pandemic like Covid, Corona Virus, Chloroquine, Ivermectin, ARDS etc.  At the time of this writing 13th April-2020 Approx 8:00 pm.  we came across with total 6 enrollments for studies. This site also updates status of studies/trials time to time and in our search, status of all these 6 studies was not yet recruiting. Some screen shots are attached.
Further we tried to contact some of our users including some super specialists, hospital owner and to our dismay many of them were not aware of any such registry procedure, clinical trial registry site available in India.
I request, plead all the Healthcare providers/Hospital Administrators/Pharma companies to please go to the link of Indian clinical trial registry site. www.ctri.nic.in read what is written there. You can also search on you tube “Indian Clinical Trial Registry system”, there you will find a series of youtube videos available in 9 parts (Each part is on average less than 5 mins), which will guide you how to use Indian clinical trial registry site.
World is looking towards India, With vast diverse population, well educated English speaking doctors. Diversified healthcare delivery system along with immense healthcare force.  (India has approx >1 million registered doctors, country with 2nd highest number of qualified doctors in world, (US has 0.875 million registered doctors). May be our population to doctor ratio is low but because of large population we make one of the largest health force in world.
Adopt a methodology of examining patient, noting your observations in systemic manner and if possible design some study, observational/interventional or any sort. Discuss with your colleagues, administrators. Observational study can be done by any one at any time no big infrastructure is required.  For Interventional study funds can be arranged.
