Abstract

Low and middle income nations now have more resources to do biomedical research because to a worldwide
increase in health research investment over the last decade. Research and clinical care programs (clinical trials,
observational studies, and other public health initiatives) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have increased in response to
the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the resurgence of TB and malaria, and other new infectious pathogens [1]. There is an
ever-increasing demand for comprehensive in-country knowledge in all areas of biomedical research due to the US
government's growing involvement in global health initiatives like the Global Health Initiative, which shifts
attention from infectious diseases to other sources of poor health and acknowledges the need to improve health
systems for a long-term solution [2].
