From Trials To Triumphs: Carrying The Torch of Hope

By Puspanjali Bhatta

Puspanjali Bhatta’s journey in clinical trials is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the unwavering power of hope. With seven transformative years in Oncology, she witnessed firsthand the struggles patients endure—the emotional toll, financial burdens, and logistical challenges that make participation in clinical research an uphill battle. She found herself constantly asking: Could we do more?

Her search for answers led her to Scout Clinical, a company dedicated to breaking down barriers for patients and caregivers in clinical trials. At Scout, Bhatta discovered a mission-driven team working tirelessly to provide travel arrangements, housing, meals, and critical support services to ensure no patient is left behind. From coordinating care for participants in war zones to easing the burden on struggling families, Scout embodies what it means to keep hope alive. As the company celebrates 30 years of impact, Bhatta reflects on the profound privilege of serving those in need.
