The New Zealand Government has launched its own clinical trials portal in the last few hours.  You can find it here.  This is the speech by the Minister for Health, Tony Ryall.  I have not spec’d the portal out but will be interested in the views of those who do have time to check it out.

It’s another example of the increasing international competitiveness between Governments among others over ‘point of sale’ websites that are aimed at increasing participation in clinical trials.  Scandinavian Governments have also recently announced launches soon and I suspect they will definitely not fall behind schedule in getting their own portals up and running.

Have a good day.
