The INDEPTH Network is a nonprofit International Organization established in 1998 as an initiative of the International Research Scientists and other stakeholders to create and support Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSS) across Africa to address the critical gaps in information on health and population in Low and Middle- income countries (LMICs).
The Network will continue to build on its core mandate. To consolidate the gains of the Network’s wealth of experience in clinical trials, epidemiology and demographic surveillance systems in over twenty research centers in sub-Saharan African countries, the current Phase of “rebooting” the Network will in addition to its core mandate, focus on Clinical trials, from phase I to IV drug and vaccine trials, and diagnostics studies.
