    We are conscious that our region is composed of both French and English speaking scientific community, and we are planning to have all the articles of this website translated in French in the near future. However should you be interested right now to have a particular article translated in French to ease your understanding of it, please do not hesitate to lay your request here, and we shall attend to it right away. In addition, should you want to share a view or enter a comment on a particular article and you are limited by the language, please go ahead and use French and we shall endeavour to translate your comments in English.

    Hi all,
    I am Gbenga. I am a consultant Family Physician with the National Hospital Abuja Nigeria. I am presently a fellow of the WHO/TDR Clinical Research and Development Programme in New Jersey USA. My research interest is in Clinical research on malaria, TB and HIV. I am currently involved in clinical drug development of a novel drug to be used as adjunctive therapy for cerebral malaria to reduce mortality among cerebral malaria patients. I hope to be back in Nigeria later this year. It is having a West Africa regional faculty for GHT and I am willing to co-ordinate the Nigerian branch.

    Hello all,
    I am from the Gambia working at the MRC, Fajara, as a Clinical Trials Monitor. It is good to have regional faculties.
    We are more involved with paediatric vaccine studies.
    I was wondering if anyone has got West African laboratory reference ranges for paediatric population that you use in your studies and would not mind sharing. Thank you
    Vivat
