About

Providing State of the art Medicine to all Patients

Midway Research Center’s primary objective is to improve the treatment options of the community by giving the community access to cutting edge treatment and the latest in pharmaceutical research. Many patients who cannot afford medications, or who are no longer responding to their medicines have gained access to necessary medical treatments that are either too expensive or not yet commercially available.

The research has given more than 500 patients access to free and advanced medical treatment and an improved medication regimen that has ensured a better quality of life. By participating in these clinical trials, it is also the company’s goal to help the medical community continuously gather pertinent information about diseases. We believe that it is only through continuous education and research that we can only fully understand the disease, which will hopefully lead us to the ultimate goal – a cure.
