With the establishment of a legal framework for clinical trials in 2011 boosted the interest of sponsors to conduct interventional trials. Since 2011, Mauritius has seen a major development in its life sciences and research sector with the development of clinical research organizations, set-up of clinical research units in hospitals, and the growing training given to local investigators and clinical staffs. Indeed, the Clinical Trials Act provides for the setting up of a Clinical Research Regulatory Council (CRRC) responsible for the regulation and control of trial licenses being issued, an Ethics Committee (EC) to advise the CRRC regarding welfare, safety, health and protection of human subjects participating in clinical trials, and a Pharmacovigilance Committee (PC) to monitor all clinical trials being performed and ensure Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
