Abstract
A clinical trial is intrinsically a collaborative undertaking. The complex steps, including identifying the biological mechanisms, discovering products, preclinical studies, and the clinical development from phase 1 to 3 clinical trials allowing market authorisation of a product, are unlikely to be feasible for a single institution or a country alone. Collaboration is therefore necessary to establish and maintain the research and innovation that is a prerequisite to tackle health threats, irrespective of the socioeconomic status of the countries (1).
