Article Synopsis
- Data on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Africa is insufficient, particularly regarding the increasing cases of premature ACS, highlighting the need for an epidemiological assessment to identify risk factors and improve management practices.
- The European Atherosclerosis Society initiated the Lipid Registry of Africa (EAS-LIPRA) to create a standardized registry that collects and analyzes data on premature ACS across multiple African countries.
- EAS-LIPRA aims to enhance understanding of ACS by stratifying data based on income levels and urban/rural residence, using valid statistical methods to compare demographics and management trends, potentially serving as a model for similar initiatives in other developing regions.
Background: Many examples of research excellence in Africa have been driven by partnerships led by the global North and have involved localised infrastructure improvements to support the best of international research practice.
Objective: In this article, we explore a possible mechanism by which local research networks, appropriately governed, could begin to support national African research programmes by allying research delivery to clinical service.
Summary: This article explores the concept that sustainable research effort needs a well-trained and mentored workforce, working to common standards, but which is practically supported by a much developed information technology (IT) infrastructure throughout the continent.
Both scientific authorities and governments of nations worldwide were found lacking in their COVID-19 response and management, resulting in significant distrust by the general public in 2020. Scientific and medical bodies often failed to give the right counsel on the appropriate course of action on COVID-19, because proven steps were not known, while many governments around the world took ineffective, late or inappropriate COVID-19 control and containment strategies. If the 2020 COVID-19 incidence rates are to be believed, much of sub-Saharan Africa had a lower disease prevalence than expected.
