Healthcare in Saint-Martin
Saint-Martin is part of France, and healthcare is delivered within the French health system - public hospitals and community practice funded through French social security, operating under European regulatory frameworks. For sponsors, that can mean an EU-framework option inside the Caribbean.
Why Saint-Martin for clinical research
The chronic-disease burden that dominates Caribbean healthcare - obesity, type 2 diabetes and hypertension - is a daily clinical reality in Saint-Martin, and most patients here have never been offered a place in a clinical study. For sponsors, that combination - genuine disease burden, largely research-naive patients, and concentrated care pathways - is exactly what makes the region worth a serious look. PCRA Caribbean is building its member-site network in Saint-Martin now: sites join by choice, are onboarded to a common ICH-GCP standard, and are matched only to studies they can genuinely deliver.
