India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Kalinga Institute of Nursing Sciences,
KIIT Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.
4. Nursing practice is underpinned by values that guide the way
in which nursing care is provided.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) provides leadership in
determining the goals, objectives, and professional practice of nursing.
ANA defines nursing as " … a caring-based practice in which
processes of diagnosis and treatment are applied to human experiences
of health and illness" (ANA, 1994).
5. Nursing practice may be work experience that is direct and/or
indirect patient care in clinical practice, nursing administration, education,
research, or consultation in the specialty represented by the credential.

7. The scope of nursing practice is the range of roles, functions,
responsibilities and activities which a registered nurse is educated,
competent and has authority to perform.
Level of professionalism as demonstrated by behavior and
attitudes.
8. What are the scope of nursing practice according to ICN?
9. The scope of nursing practice is not limited to specific tasks,
functions or responsibilities but is a combination of knowledge, judgement
and skill that allows the nurse to perform direct care giving and
evaluate its impact, advocate for patients and for health, supervise and
delegate to others, lead, manage, teach, undertake research and develop
health policy for health care systems.
10. The scope of practice is dynamic and responsive to changing
health needs, knowledge development, and technological advances.
Periodic review of scopes of practice is therefore essential to
ensure consistency with current health needs and to support improved
health outcomes.
Scopes of practice should be sufficiently broad and flexible to
permit freedom for innovation, growth and change (ICN 2009).
12. • Political, social and environmental issues, economics and trade, legal
traditions, the health care system and cultural norms.
• Contextual factors such as the increasing specialisation and diversity of
practice settings, increasing patient acuity in all health and social care
facilities (particularly aged care settings) have also advanced and
expanded nursing practice. (NNNET 2005).
13. • Health workforce shortages
• Workforce planning
• Task shifting (Aging, chronic condition)
• New cadres (unregulated health care workers)
• Technology and health care delivery
(ICT advances)
14. • Abstract: This study measures the scope of practice of nurses in Saudi Arabia. The study
utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design among 928 nurses. Low-complexity nursing
tasks showed insignificant differences no matter the nurse’s position, but were less
practiced by Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and advanced-degree nurses than by
those with a diploma education. High complexity of ASCOP was practiced significantly
more often by postgraduate-prepared nurses than by diploma-educated nurses. The study
showed that there is a range of variation in nursing practice, but that the lack of internal
regulations has no effect on nursing duties. (2022)
16. 1. Belong to Associations
• Attending chapter meetings
• Networking (future jobs or references)
17. 2. Continue Your Education
• Stay up to date within your specialty
• Take courses or go to seminars
• Advance your degree
• Whatever you decide, be it learning a new skill or obtaining a
new degree
• Well-rounded nurse
18. 3. Mentor New Nurses
• On-the-job or more formally through a college
• By teaching what we know, the mentor actually learns more through
questions, explaining procedures and processes.
• Mentoring is crucial in bringing the next generation of nurses to
practice.
• Positive experiences and others
19. 4. Write Letters
• Staffing ratios or other issues you’re facing on the job (Make the
policy makers aware.)
• Nurses are in a perfect position to speak up to help create
changes in policies that would better the profession and health
care as a whole.
20. 5. Continue to Project a Professional Image
• Nurses must continue to uphold our reputation and our code of ethics to
keep.
• Our social media presence. Even though we may be posting personal photos or
opinions, if we list the name of our workplace and/or what we do, we are still
being linked with the nursing profession.
• Look and act like a professional person 24/7 – wherever you are you serve as
a role model of who and what a nurse is.
• Professional appearance starts with good grooming and workwear appropriate
for a professional person.
21. 6. Consider a specialization
• Narrow your focus
• Becoming certified in your specialty area will help advance
in your practice
22. 7. Follow nursing blogs
• Thousands of resources from other nurses or nursing organizations
are available with the simple click of a mouse.
• Keep a pulse on industry news
• Demonstrating leadership and industry-awareness begins
• Learn cutting-edge ideas in nursing practice from seasoned experts,
understand more about how healthcare systems
23. 8. Talk about your ambitions
• Your supervisor know that you are interested in a promotion or
a different role, that will create great opportunities.”
• Placed on committees within the organization to get to know
nurses from different departments, help you learn about other
roles that might be interesting.
24. 9. Experience different nursing units
• Soak up all of the nursing experience
• More valuable to hospitals
• Diverse experience also makes you a more attractive candidate
for management positions.
25. 10. Look into continuing education opportunities
• Covers new advancements, techniques and practices for nurses.
• A high level of clinical expertise
• Decision-makers are looking for nurses who can transition their mindset
and are ready to hold new challenges
• “Completing some professional development around non-clinical
areas (for example, leadership, education skills, communication, conflict
management) make ready for the challenge of this new frontier.”
26. 11. Take the next step in college education
• Bachelor of Science in Nursing (opening doors and becoming a professional
imperative)
• Master of Science in Nursing (better-qualified for leadership and managerial
positions)
• Doctor of Nursing Practice (want to influence high-level policy changes in
healthcare, want to measure outcomes in healthcare and impact change at their
institution)
• Best nurse leaders do not always have a long list of credentials behind their
name, exhibit excellence in their own work.
27. 12. Nurses Can Raise Their Level of Nursing
Professionalism
• Professional behavior and attitudes of the nurse
28. 13. Put caring first
• Nurse genuinely cares for each patient and accepts the patient as
unique, respects his individual rights, and meets all his physical,
psychological, social and spiritual needs.
• This includes respect for dignity irrespective of nationality, race,
creed, colour, age, sex, politics or social status.
29. 14. Be professionally responsible and accountable
• No longer seen as subservient to the medical practitioner.
• Independent practitioner
• Use initiative and take decisions
30. 15. Develop and maintain professional standards
• Nurses’ responsibility to continually evaluate their own practice
against the set standards.
• Because of commitment to quality patient care the nurse should
also strive to continually raise those standards.
31. 16. Maintain professional competence
• The best quality of care for the patient is only possible if the
nurse accepts responsibility for increasing her professional
knowledge and keeping up to date with new developments.
• She should have an enquiring mind and learn all the time and
not limit learning to that required for CPD points for registration.
32. 17. Participate in professional affairs
• Active in promoting the profession and addressing current
issues in nursing and health care.
• Professional groups, including nursing associations or societies
representing different nursing specialties, are more successful
than individuals in bringing about change through the voice of
numbers.
• Active in professional groups and sharing your expertise
can add considerably to your professional development and
33. 18. Make a difference
• Contribute to the future of your profession – what you as
a nurse do or say does make a difference.
• Be proud to be a nurse, always look and act professionally.
34. 19. Changing State Regulations
• Autonomous practice of nurse practitioners
• Most commonly it is nurse practitioners, but also includes certified nurse
midwives, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and clinical nurse
specialists.”
• Institutional barriers for other nurses, including registered nurses (RNs)
and licensed practical nurses (LPNs), to allow them to practice to the top of
their education and training.
• Examples include prescribing medicine, diagnosing a patient, and providing
treatment independent of a physician. Even when it is allowed, there are
administrative burdens.
35. 20. Increasing Access to High-quality Care
• Significantly increase access to care, especially in rural and
underserved communities where physician care may be
scarce or difficult to access.
36. 21. Reducing Administrative Burden
• Being able to move nurses to different areas to treat
patients or to cover for nurses who were called to a
different area, was essential to patient health.
37. 22. Improving Care Access Through the Workforce
• Significant boost to primary care efforts where they are
especially needed such as in rural or low-income areas.
• “For countries that are deficient in the number of primary care
providers, meeting the needs of the population is important.
• “is that extremely empowering for nurses to do all the things
they are prepared to do.”
38. Clinical nurse autonomy and control over nursing practice (CONP) have been
associated with increased nurse satisfaction and improved patient outcomes - both
elements of a healthy work environment. This article outlines strategies for enhancing
autonomy as well as strategies for enhancing CONP and describes the importance of
articulating expectations for autonomous practice, enhancing competence in clinical
expertise, establishing participative decision making, and developing nurses' skills in
making decisions. In addition, the critical role of nurse leaders and the need to work
upstream to influence the social, political, and economic factors affecting nursing
practice are discussed. (2010)
39. The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.
• Nurses have the opportunity to play a central role in transforming the
health care system to create a more accessible, high-quality, and value-
driven environment for patients.
• If the system is to capitalize on this opportunity, however, the
constraints of outdated policies, regulations, and cultural
barriers, including those related to scope of practice, will have to be
lifted, most notably for advanced practice registered nurses. (2011)
