Report
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed significant gaps in our health-care system, including in our clinical trial infrastructure. In addition, the stark differences in health outcomes for different populations underscored the need to address health disparities and social determinants of health. FasterCures wants to ensure the lessons of the COVID-19 crisis are not lost as the urgency subsides, particularly in the conduct of research and development.
