SRC prides itself on conducting high-quality clinical trials with excellent recruitment and retention rates and high-quality data.
The site’s core focus upon inception was conducting HIV prevention studies. Since then, the site has demonstrated the ability to expand its portfolio to include HIV and TB vaccine studies, TB diagnostic studies, Maternal and Paediatric studies as well as a number of social science, behavioral and multipurpose technology studies.
The site is well experienced in managing multiple and complex protocols and recruiting for challenging studies.
