This collaborative approach will enable the co-op to scale quickly, reaching more regions across the continent and amplifying the economic and healthcare benefits for underserved communities.
The co-op has already secured five core members and onboarded additional strategic partners, with plans to engage diverse research centers and secure immediate research projects in its first year. As the largest impact-driven clinical research ecosystem in Africa, Gifftid’s Healthcare Impact Builder envisions a future where Africa is an integral part of the global clinical research landscape, contributing to disease prevention, therapeutic innovation, and equitable healthcare access for all.
With Gifftid’s Healthcare Impact Builder, a new chapter unfolds for clinical research in Africa—one defined by local empowerment, collaborative partnerships, and transformative healthcare impact.
