How Scaling Up Clinical Research In Africa Can Benefit Society And The Economy

[richardmurray]

MY COMMENT

The health problem is simple. The populace in African can use to have better trials and studies based on is populace who have genetic specifics that did and will yield different results in any trial in comparison to other populaces in humanity. 
The fiscal problem is also simple. The African continent doesn't have firms or governments with the money to invest in research and trials expansive enough for the problem stated above. 
Engineering is a process, it isn't a matter of going to school in beijing/new york city/london today and having access to wealthy countries research facilities and going back to africa and waving a magic wand. You have to slowly build the infrastructure in africa itself. 
Before the lambourghini, the mercedes motorwagen, before the mercedes motorwagen the carriage, before the carriage the wheel.  
To that end, only one organization in Africa has a pan african position in its very legal framework and that is the organization of african unity, so the AU former OAU , needs to be the pathway. In that way the members of the AU need to put monies together and make a clinical trial organization. 
 

 

THE ARTICLE EXCERPT

Demographic trends define Africa as the world’s fastest-growing region, with its population potentially doubling by 2050. As the continent achieves significant progress in the control of infectious diseases, the rise of non-communicable conditions, in parallel with the possibility of emerging pandemic pathogens, is adding more pressure to already strained healthcare systems and posing challenges to continental development ambitions.

It would be awesome to see African countries united, sharing knowledge and innovating in science and technology.

Well....
My first question is WHO will be conducting these "clinical trials" on the African population?

Who's doing it directly and who's guiding it?

If it's BY Africans and FOR Africans, I support it.

But I don't support any clinical "trials" (yeah right....like you don't already know what the results will be when you inject people with something) being done to Africans by White folks, period.
I don't give a damn if they're way the hell over in London guiding it while they got a bunch of niggas in rubber gloves, white coats, and masks down on the ground implementing it.
If it came from THEM...I don't trust it.

And if they conduct these medical trials and do this research, WHO will get the data?

Will we as a people keep it amongst ourselves and use this information to help ourselves and cure our problems?

Or will a bunch of Africans in skinny suits and glasses go running to "massa" with a stack of papers in their hands...... can't wait to show him all the information they gathered and what they discovered.



"Ooooohh..........
I betcha big daddy would looooove to see this!
Get him on the phone Grady!!!"
