Compensation to clinical trial volunteers

The adverse events in clinical trials and the compensation thereafter has been a topic of debate since long.
 
One of our honourable members of parliament Kumari Sailaja in Rajya Sabha asked a question about
 
"(a) whether it is a fact that Pharmaceutical companies do not always compensate volunteers of clinical trials for their sufferings;

(b) if so, the details thereof;

(c) the details of compensation paid during the last two years to the volunteers; and

(d) the steps being taken by Government to safeguard the volunteers from the risks they face?"
 
The answer by honourable Minister of Health and Family Welfare revealed the details of compensation paid in clinical trial related cases of SAEs of deaths. The data is being reproduced for your information.
