Education
Education is one of the primary building blocks within the Malawi eHealth Research Centre. A number of courses have been developed and delivered in a face to face, blended and eLearning formats. The target audience include ICT and Healthcare professionals.
Research
Establishing a strong evidence base is a key focus of the Malawi eHealth Research Centre. It is through such evidence that new methodologies and eHealth solutions can be rigorously evaluated against the healthcare needs of Malawi.
Innovation
Utilising strong evidence based research as a baseline, interventions which demonstrate a clear benefit within the healthcare pathway may be considered for real world integration. This is the foundation of the innovative practices that underly the Malawi eHealth Research Centre.
