Africa is building the clinical trial workforce it needs, and it starts here, across all 6 East African Community states.

Proud to see our #SCALEIT project spotlighted by funders @EDCTP3. Because the best research happens where the disease is.

Clinical trials in East Africa need strong oversight. @Scale_It_Ethics just proved it's possible, training 500+ researchers, regulators & ethics committee members across all 6 EAC partner states. Read: https://t.co/FaVsW8B0fg & see what 3yrs of commitment looks like.
