About

Currently, CIIC-HIN provides strategic leadership in health systems strengthening, digital health, clinical research, and capacity building in Rwanda, Burkina Faso and Chad. As a dedicated hub for operational research and implementation science, the organization generates high-quality evidence to inform policy and improve healthcare efficiency. In the past 2 years, CIIC-HIN was awarded two clinical trials that are shaping science advancement in infectious diseases including the recent Marburg Virus infection with its Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) – MBP091. This contributed to the advancement of clinical trials in collaboration with global pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions, enhancing Africa’s participation in medical research. This led to the formation of PACT Solution, a full-service Contract Research Organization (CRO) that specializes in executing clinical trials for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries to bridge the gap between innovative medical research and the African healthcare system. The overarching goal of PACT Solutions is the Optimization of the diagnostic platform for efficient prevention and management of infectious diseases and preventive medicine.
