Welcome to West African Framework
Program for Global Health
|
West African Framework Program for Global Health
is a research and training program that is focused on global health problems in
West Africa. A high proportion of countries with the poorest health indices in
the world are located in West Africa and continuing problems in the subregion
pose considerable challenge to efforts to improve the health of people living
there. There is therefore need for an integrated systems approach to tacking
these global health problems through multidisciplinary and multi-institutional
approaches. Establishing linkages and encouraging research through this platform
is especially important. It is also crucial to involve young researchers and
orientate them towards this approach to health programs and research.
