Operational Research

Operational Research

Operational research (OR) in health in Africa encompasses a range of key areas aimed at improving healthcare systems and outcomes. Some of the key areas that GHSS focus on include:

Disease Prevention and Control

GHSS focuses on research on effective strategies for preventing and controlling prevalent diseases, such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases.

Healthcare Delivery and Access

We focus on studying ways to enhance the delivery of healthcare services, improve access to healthcare facilities, and address barriers to healthcare in remote or underserved areas.

Health Information Systems

We also focus on developing and implementing robust health information systems to collect, manage, and analyze health data for informed decision-making.

Maternal and Child Health

We are also investigating interventions and strategies to improve maternal and child health outcomes, including prenatal care, safe childbirth, and child vaccination programs.

Health Infrastructure and Resources

Assessing and optimizing the healthcare infrastructure, including the availability of medical facilities, equipment, and healthcare workforce distribution.

Health Financing

Researching sustainable and efficient methods of financing healthcare services to ensure equitable access without causing financial hardship for individuals or communities.

Non-Communicable Diseases

Investigating the rising burden of non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer, and implementing preventive measures.

Community Health Interventions

Studying community-based health interventions to empower local communities in promoting health, disease prevention, and early detection.

Capacity Building and Training

Focusing on building the capacity of healthcare professionals through training programs and continuous education to improve the overall quality of healthcare services.

Technology and Innovation

Exploring the use of technology and innovation in healthcare, including telemedicine, e-health solutions, and mobile health applications to enhance healthcare delivery.

Disease Surveillance, Prevention, and One Health

Regional Integrated Surveillance and Laboratory Network (RISLNET):

1. Central Africa RISLNET: GHSS has partnered with the Africa CDC to establish the Central Africa RISLNET including networking Chad, Cameroon, Republic of Central Africa, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Sao Tome and Principe, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Burundi.

West Africa RISNET: GHSS has partnered with Africa CDC, the West Africa Health Organization (WAHO), and the Pasteur Institute in Dakar to establish RISLNET in 14 countries in West Africa: Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Niger, Ghana, Cote D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, Cape Verde, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Gambia, and Republic of Guinea Bissau.

Our Process

Health Education and Awareness

Digital platforms can be utilized to disseminate health information, raise awareness about preventive measures, and deliver health education programs to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health. Digitalization alone is not a complete solution. Adequate infrastructure, capacity building, data privacy, and cybersecurity considerations are crucial for the successful implementation and sustainability of digital healthcare initiatives in Africa.

Supply Chain Management

Digitalization can improve the tracking and management of medical supplies, medications, and vaccines, ensuring timely availability and reducing waste or stockouts.
