1. Poor Patients Used as “Guinea Pigs” Many clinical trials in India target poor, illiterate, or rural patients who are not fully informed. Informed consent forms are often in English, signed with thumb impressions—patients don’t even know they are part of a trial. 👉 : In Madhya Pradesh (2005–2012), more than 80 people died in clinical trials at government hospitals. Families said they were never told these were experiments. 2. Deaths Without Accountability Between 2005 and 2012, around 2,800 people died during clinical trials in India (official Health Ministry data). Out of these, compensation was paid in less than 5% cases. Most families of victims never received justice. 👉 : In Indore, 2010, hundreds of poor patients were enrolled into trials for drugs of multinational companies without proper consent. Some died, but no accountability was fixed. 3. Multinational Pharma Exploitation India became a hub for clinical trials because regulations were lax and costs were low. Global pharma companies tested drugs on Indians to cut expenses—knowing oversight was weak. 👉 : Bhopal Gas Tragedy victims (already suffering from exposure) were recruited for trials of experimental drugs in the 1990s and 2000s, without proper safeguards. This caused outrage when exposed in media. 4. Unethical Practices in Psychiatry Vulnerable patients in mental hospitals have been made part of drug trials without their consent, simply because they couldn’t say “no.” 👉 : In AIIMS, 2011, reports surfaced that mentally ill patients were enrolled in trials without informing guardians. 5. Lack of Transparency Trial results often remain unpublished if negative. Ethics Committees in many hospitals exist only on paper; approvals are given casually. 👉 : A 2013 Supreme Court observation called the clinical trial system in India a “racket” and ordered stricter regulation after multiple deaths were reported. 🩸 The Shocking Truth India became a cheap laboratory for global pharma. The poor bore the risks, while companies reaped profits. Lives were lost—without consent, without justice. Follow @aktsrma Share with your friends ✍️ . #DarkTruth #ClinicalTrialsExposed #Pharma
