Clinical research is integrated with the hospital's teaching mission, giving resident doctors and postgraduate students structured exposure to study design, conduct and reporting.

  • Non-communicable disease including diabetes, hypertension and sickle cell disease
  • Health services, quality improvement and implementation research

Taking part in a study

Participation is always voluntary and follows informed consent. Declining to take part never affects the care a patient receives. Study teams explain the purpose, procedures, risks and benefits before any consent is taken.
