South Korea is a prominent destination for clinical trials in Asia, with its superior medical infrastructure, highly educated medical personnel, and wide patient pool. In addition, increasing government support has led to a rise in the number of opportunities for drug development companies.

This plan was launched to enhance clinical trial management by 2023. The plan included three strategies, which involved improving international competitiveness in clinical trials, developing a clinical trial safety management system, and expanding treatment opportunities & communication systems for patients.

Clinical laboratories in the country are trying to improve their testing efficiency and are trying to receive accreditation from international regulatory authorities. For instance, in September 2022, South Korea’s GC Labs became the first one in the country to obtain U.S. CDC certification.
