Australia’s NGOs, research community and government are investing heavily in building health programs for developing countries that directly link patient care with research and data collection.
Professor James Beeson, head of the Center for Biomedical Research with the Burnet Institute, is a leader in this space and says that research and evidence-based policy is a much needed focus in development health care.
“We, at our institute, have the philosophy that you don’t do health care without research — the two need to go hand in hand,” Beeson told Devex. “It is something we and others in Australia have been pushing for and we are hoping to make progress on that.”
