Health system strengthening in sub-Saharan Africa. The project aligns with the complex intervention and diagnostic development platforms of CDT-Africa. The project is a collaborative undertaking of CDT-Africa (CHS AAU), Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health, King’s College London, and the University of Cape Town. A successful implementation of the study will address the issue of health system fragility and will also offer a new life saving blood pressure equipment (CRADLE). The complex intervention aspect of the research aims to develop effective health system strengthening interventions to support the translation of clinical evidence into delivery of integrated continuing care at scale across healthcare platforms for Non-communicable diseases, mental and substance use problems, surgical and dental care, and maternal healthcare in Ethiopia. The project receives funding from the NIHR for £1,108,223. The overall lead of the project, Prof Martin Prince, leads the partnership of CDT-Africa with King’s College London.
