Research only succeeds when it is built on a foundation of mutual trust with the community. Our outreach programs, from pregnancy awareness symposiums to school-based health initiatives, are designed to put the "Human" back in "Human Health." We are proud to collaborate with local partners to ensure that our research into adolescent health and maternal immunization is accessible, understandable, and culturally relevant. By working together, we ensure that the benefits of our science, whether in TB prevention or RSV protection, are felt directly by the families of Soweto and beyond.#CommunityEngagement #SowetoHealth #WitsVIDA #PublicHealth #ResearchTrust ...
