Its good question and delicate problem. I think some papers around this problem and available e-book may describe current situation:

The ANC in South Africa, have a saying: 'waiting for our turn to eat'
Medical clinical researchers will generally not talk out about this bad practice, because they wait for their turn to benefit from this relationship with Pharma.

The veil of silence they throw over this topic leads the public to accuse them of being a 'Medical Mafia'
