Research
AMedRA is actively engaged in several research projects aimed at addressing current, critical and relevant health issues in Africa.
Our ongoing research topics include:
Closing the Gap in Life Expectancy Between Africa and the Rest of the World
We are working to expand and enhance our understanding of the factors contributing to this disparity and develop effective strategies and interventions to bridge this gap.
Genetic and Genomic Data Integration
Our research in genetic and genomic data integration aims to harness the power of genetics to better understand and treat diseases prevalent in Africa.
Primordial Prevention of NCDs in Africa
Research is the key to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) from their earliest stages by having a focus on social and environmental conditions.
Providing Reliable Health Data in Africa
We are committed to enhancing data collection, management, and analysis across Africa as accurate and reliable health data is crucial for effective healthcare planning and policy-making.
Improve the accessibility of diagnosis and training using AI
Our research focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the accuracy and accessibility of medical diagnoses and training for healthcare professionals, particularly in remote and underserved areas.
Health Economics
Our health economics research examines the cost-effectiveness of health interventions, funding mechanisms, and economic policies to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of healthcare systems in Africa.
Ending Rheumatic Heart Diseases
Our research aims to eradicate this preventable condition through improved screening, early diagnosis, effective treatment, and public health campaigns to raise awareness and reduce incidence rates.
Epidemiology of Congenital Heart Disease in Sub-Saharan African Countries
We are investigating the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of congenital heart disease in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our goal is to improve early detection, treatment, and management of these conditions to prevent exacerbation and long-term sequelae.
