Collaborative for Emergency Care Africa

About Our Collaborative
The Collaborative for Emergency Care in Africa (CEC Africa) aims to conduct innovative trauma care research predominantly in austere settings, to answer questions regarding optimal trauma care that are both globally needed and locally relevant.
Through the support of federal and foundation research grant funding, we employ rigorous and contemporary approaches and clinical trial design, implementation science, and patient-level outcome research.
While our research program has a core of military-relevant combat trauma research activities in the Western Cape region of South Africa, we aim to perform work in other relevant global health settings including places like Kenya, Ethiopia, and Ghana. We seek to collaborate closely with local stakeholders and partners including ministries of health, EMS agencies, universities, and health institutions.

OUR MISSION
To improve health outcomes amongst traumatically injured
populations worldwide, with a special focus/emphasis on international and resource-limited settings.

OUR VISION
To become a leading research collaborative in using evidence from clinical research and implementation, science gained through high-quality, relevant, and pragmatic research. The goal of our research is intended to promote the delivery of high-quality, contemporary early care in prehospital and emergency care settings worldwide.
