Inaugurating the center, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw said “Globally and in India in particular, we know that the prevalence of disease is rising alarmingly, due to changes in lifestyle and diet. Clinical trials radiology is extremely relevant to prove the efficacy, safety and affordability of any new treatment.
