Capacity Building

The purpose of this Initiative is to do capacity building for clinical research in the previously under serviced geographical area of the Western Limpopo Province. This is done to add value to the health services of our local communities. Within the past 10 years, we have successfully introduced to clinical research and Good Clinical Practice [GCP] trained over 31 medical practitioners (23 Historically Disadvantaged Individuals [HDIs]), 17 registered nurses (3 HDIs), 3 enrolled nurses, 22 study coordinators (1 HDI), 5 pharmacists, 1 dietician, 1 nutritionist, 1 psychologist and 10 clinical trial assistants (9 HDIs). This includes GCP training that was provided to nursing personnel from the local public primary care clinics.
