Clinical research organizations (CROs) support biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies during biomedical or health-related research studies across many global regions. As a result, providing related information and documentation in the respective languages is an essential component of conducting global research.

CROs typically do not establish translation services as a core competency since it is not directly related to the actual research. Translation needs rather emerge as a result of the very nature of research studies, which are usually conducted across different countries to access specific and diverse patient populations as well as markets.

To address the need for translating critical documentation into required target languages, CROs form close partnerships with FARECHION to offer complete solutions to their life science clients. By accessing our core competencies and outsourcing translations, CROs receive a scalable and high-quality service solution that enables their successful support of clinical research for any region and language.
