Vasee Moorthy: How Can the WHO Guidance for Best Practices for Clinical Trials Be Adapted to Local Contexts?

Vasee Moorthy, Senior Advisor R and D at World Health Organization, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Join us for the launch of the French translation of WHO Guidance for Best Practices for Clinical Trials! This event will be in French with English simultaneous translation.

On 3 September 2025, WHO is launching the French translation of its Guidance for Best Practices for Clinical Trials—a powerful tool to strengthen clinical trial ecosystems across Francophone countries.

Whether you’re a policy maker, researcher, regulator, ethics committee member, funder, or part of a patient/community engagement organization, this event is for you.

Webinar: Strengthening clinical trial ecosystems: Launch of the French translation of WHO’s Guidance for Best Practices for Clinical Trials
Time: 14:00–15:30 CEST
Format: Online with French-English interpretation

Speakers will tackle some of the most pressing questions for clinical research in French-speaking regions, including:

How can the WHO Guidance for Best Practices for Clinical Trials be adapted to local contexts?
What are the opportunities and challenges in strengthening regulatory and ethics oversight?
How can we ensure inclusive research through community and patient engagement?
What role can regional institutions play in funding and coordinating high-quality trials?

Engage with regional leaders and explore how this Guidance can be applied to improve trial quality, ethics, coordination, and inclusion—locally and globally.

Let’s make clinical research more equitable, ethical, and effective—together.”
