- The Centre of Excellence, located at UWC, with co-leadership and joint expertise at ITM, will lead initiatives to strengthen pharmacovigilance activities in South Africa and more broadly in the Southern African Region.
- This project, funded by ICARS (International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions) through a grant from Wellcome from February to December 2023, developed guidelines to facilitate Responsive Dialogues to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in LMIC settings.
- This project seeks to address the twin challenges of developing capacity for training and research in pharmaceutical public health and doctoral education, and contributing to the goal of strengthening health and pharmaceutical systems capable of sustainably addressing key threats to health.
- Despite the important roles Community Health Workers (CHWs) play in monitoring TB and HIV treatment, they have almost no training in adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and little material is available on this topic for this level of health worker. The SPaRCS project worked collaboratively between 2020 and 2023 to develop training materials to address this gap. The materials are open source and aim to increase awareness and facilitate initiatives to increase adverse drug reaction reporting by health care workers, including community health workers.
