There are 32 hospitals (including 11 university hospitals) in Medicon Valley, with a capacity of some 15,000 beds, covering all medical fields. About 11,000 physicians, 2,000 dentists and pharmacists, and 20,000 nurses work in the region.

Medicon Valley’s dense concentration of research hospitals helps sustain a high level of clinical expertise and quality in clinical trials. Since many of the region’s hospitals conduct trials very frequently, a number of research nurses are specifically dedicated to this task.

Over the years, collaborations between Medicon Valley’s large pharmaceutical industry (and /or other sponsors) and hospitals have produced a very high volume of clinical trials relative to the region’s size.
