Bangalore, May 3 : Karnataka government will appoint a two-member expert committee to frame guidelines to regulate clinical drug trials and research projects in all government and private medical colleges and hospitals in the State.
The trials and projects will remain suspended till the recommendations are made by the committee.
"Until such time, all ongoing clinical drug trials and research projects have been temporarily suspended," Medical Education Minister S A Ramadass told reporters here today.
He cited reports of "nexus" between doctors and drug companies in such ventures, lack of transparency and accountability and said the move is aimed at bringing in institutional framework to govern such activities.
Government has also decided to frame cadre and recruitment rules and to make suitable provisions for the promotion of nurses in colleges.
"It is also decided to start nursing colleges attached to all medical college hospitals in the State. It will thus create educational opportunities to students and will improve health care services to the patients", the Minister said.
It was also decided to frame ''job charts'' for all employees in medical institutions of the State and also to appeal to philanthropists to build and maintain "Dharmashalas" for the benefit of patients and their attendants in all hospitals attached to medical colleges, Ramadass added.
