DAAD Article - Teaming up to combat fatal diseases
Two Global Centres for Health and Pandemic Prevention have been established in sub-Saharan Africa funded by the DAAD. They are following new approaches in international exchange and infection research.
Research is the key to preparing healthcare systems to cope with possible pandemics. The Central African Infectious Disease and Epidemics Research Alliance (CAIDERA), the second Global Centre for Health and Pandemic Prevention on the African continent, believes that supporting young researchers is the best way to achieve this. The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tübingen maintains a close partnership with the Centre de Recherches Médicales de Lambaréné (Cermel) in the Central African country of Gabon.
