Research in Africa

Anaesthesia research in Africa faces known structural constraints: limited protected research time, funding gaps and patchy access to journals. It also has real advantages: clinical questions of global importance that are best answered here, and a growing network of regional collaborations.

What this page will do

• Frame the regional research landscape honestly, with sources.
• Highlight collaboration models that have worked for African anaesthesia departments.
• Point to journals and networks that publish African perioperative work.

This is a framing page in progress; it will carry references once its claims are reviewed.
