Meet some of the people who volunteer themselves to advances in medical science at SAHMRI
THEY are the altruistic “guinea pigs” — aged 9 to almost 80 — who advance the cause of medical science by giving their time and insights — not to mention blood and hair samples — for the sole purpose of helping others. Martina Simos reports.
THEY put their bodies on the line, trial new medicines, submit to tests and answer probing, personal questions — all to help us all lead healthier, happier lives.
Medical research volunteers are a special breed, coming from all ages and walks of life. Beyond recouping a few minor personal expenses, they gain only the satisfaction of serving the greater good.
“Their motivation is entirely selfless and giving,’’ says SAHMRI researcher Dr Michael Musker.
