US to bring advanced healthcare products to Africa

US-based Access to Advanced Health Institute (AAHI) has announced its upcoming launch and central role in a new global coalition, Africa’s Access to Advanced Healthcare (AAAH). The mission of The AAAH Coalition is to facilitate access to innovative vaccines and cancer immunotherapies by establishing production facilities for advanced biologics in sub-Saharan Africa, to conduct innovative research and discovery in next-generation immune-enhancing medical products, and to build the capacity for research and manufacturing throughout Africa. AAHI and its sibling institutes will collaborate with numerous academic institutions such as the University of Washington, Duke University, Emory University, and Baylor University in the United States and the University of Cape Town, University of Witwatersrand, and University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. AAHI’s footprint and partnerships will extend beyond the United States and into Africa with the formation of several new institutes across Africa, including South Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, & Uganda.
