Advancing Health  Innovation Across Africa 

We build research capacity, drive innovative health solutions, and ensure Africa’s health research meets the needs of its people, creating lasting impact for a healthier future.

Who We Are

AMedRA is an organisation working to transform medical research in Africa by evaluating current infrastructure, developing improvement plans, and providing training and resources to enhance research quality and publication.

​We also advocate for balanced disease focus, raise awareness of climate change health impacts, and promote South-South partnerships to share knowledge and best practices.​

Alliance for Medical Research in Africa – AMedRA is focused on transforming medical research in Africa. We believe that African researchers are best positioned to understand and address the continent’s health challenges. Our initiatives aim to build research capacity, promote innovative health solutions, and ensure that Africa’s health research serves the needs of its people.

Commitment

We are committed to:

Strengthening Research Infrastructure

By developing state-of-the-art facilities and providing ongoing support, we want to ensure that African researchers have the tools they need to conduct high-quality high-impact research

Fostering Collaboration

We facilitate partnerships with international research institutions, encouraging interdisciplinary teams to address complex health issues

Translating Research into Policy and Practice

We work to ensure that research findings influence health policies and clinical practices, leading to tangible improvements in public health

Developing Talent

Through training programs, we nurture the next generation of African researchers, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their fields

Raising AwarenesClimate Change-Induced Health Issues

We are dedicated to highlighting the health impacts of climate change and advocating for policies to mitigate these effects
