Overview

Our research agenda is anchored in evidence-based public and community health, with a growing focus on digital transformation in healthcare. We are driven by the need to bridge the gap between evidence and practice, working closely with communities, policymakers, and practitioners to ensure our research is relevant, impactful, and inclusive.

We support an interdisciplinary approach that blends traditional health research with emerging digital innovations—generating solutions that respond to the evolving needs of the health sector in Africa and beyond.
