NGOs, CROs and global health stakeholders face a dual challenge: gaining rapid access to high-level scientific and medical expertise while complying with increasingly strict regulatory, budgetary and legal frameworks. In this context, scientific payroll services have emerged as a modern, flexible and secure solution.
1. A model perfectly suited to international projects
NGO and clinical projects are often:
- time-limited,
- donor-funded,
- subject to strict compliance requirements.
Scientific payroll services allow organizations to mobilize experts (medical doctors, CRAs, data managers, biostatisticians, M&E specialists, etc.) without creating a local entity,without managing HR directly and without rigid contractual constraints.
Pharmaspecific Portage acts as the legal employer, while clients immediately benefit from the consultant’s expertise.
2. A concrete response to budget constraints
NGOs and CROs must justify every expense.
Scientific payroll services provide:
- une clear and traceable billing,,
- no hidden HR costs (social charges, insurance, legal obligations),
- full control over project budgets.
This model enables access to premium expertise at competitive costs, particularly in high-potential scientific environments such as Madagascar.
3. Enhanced legal and regulatory security
Scientific payroll services secure organizations on multiple levels:
- employment contracts compliant with local labor law,
- full management of social and tax obligations,
- professional liability insurance,
- confidentiality and data protection.
Pharmaspecific Portage assumes the employer role, significantly reducing legal and reputational risk for clients.
4. A lever for operational performance
Payroll-supported consultants are:
- rapidly operational,
- locally integrated,
- trained to international standards (GCP, donor requirements).
As a result, projects benefit from smoother operations, stronger field continuity and higher execution quality.
