Medishare Project

 Background
 Like many other developing countries, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have a heavy disease burden that is shouldered by the rural poor, especially women and children. The key obstacles in combating these diseases in Eastern Africa have been weak, inequitable health systems, including a crisis in health personnel and sustainable health financing. There is therefore an urgent need to ensure that health systems are strengthened.

Of particular importance is the improvement of the quality of health data, its management and use. The MEDI-SHARE project aims to help meet these needs by strengthening the research role of universities in Eastern Africa to combat the poverty-related diseases and in particular those related to HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis.
 
Goal
 To build capacity in Africa to support Clinical Research . Medishare focuses on HIV-AIDS, TB and Malaria in  Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania
