The Centre for Research in Health systems has the vision to lead in creating new knowledge and capacity to support people-centered health systems in resource-limited areas.
Welcome to the Centre for Research in Health systems (CRH).
The CRH is based in the School of Medicine in the College of Health Sciences on Howard Campus, Durban.
The CRH aims to be a leader in creating new knowledge, practical solutions, and skilled people to help build strong and effective health systems. Our focus is on making health care more integrated and centred on people’s needs, especially in areas with limited resources, both in South Africa and around the world.
To achieve this, the CRH collaborates with key stakeholders to co-create, design, test and improve ideas that strengthen health systems. We follow a learning health system framework, which means we continuously use research and real-world experience to improve care.
Our work is supported by epidemiological studies that help us understand the health needs and risks faced by different communities. We also invest in supporting capacity building initiatives of the health workforce and developing and strengthening the skills of researchers who are passionate about making public health more people-centred.
