To achieve the greatest health benefits, we are committed to enabling African doctors to develop their own innovative NCD programs and benefit from the results themselves.
The African Research Network has been growing a unique, multidisciplinary team of researchers to deliver significant shifts in understanding the prevalence and etiology of NCDs in Africa and other low- and middle income countries.
We have been engaging post-doctoral researchers, Ph.D. students, and interns in our programs to train the next generation of international research leaders.
