Clinical Research Department
The Clinical Research Department of Universal Hospital has been established with the primary objective of promoting ethical, high-quality, and scientifically rigorous clinical research. The department serves as a structured platform for conducting clinical trials, observational studies, and investigator-initiated projects that contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge and evidence-based patient care.
The department operates in accordance with national and international regulatory requirements, including the guidelines of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) National Ethical Guidelines, and the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
Our department supports physicians, investigators, and external collaborators in conducting high-quality research that aligns with regulatory standards and clinical best practices. We provide comprehensive services including:
- Study feasibility assessments
- Ethics and regulatory submissions

By integrating research into clinical practice, we aim to offer our patients access to cutting-edge therapies and contribute to evidence-based medicine.
