Celebrating 50 years of Health Sciences research
Join the Faculty of Health Sciences on 30 and 31 August for a programme packed with high-quality research.
Fifty years ago, visionaries in health care established a research forum. Today, the Faculty of Health Sciences celebrates all researchers who have shared their work during the past five decades. 
 
On 30 and 31 August 2018, the Faculty Research Forum will once again be characterised by high-quality presentations, covering a range of relevant topics – a couple of which will receive awards at the conclusion of the forum. Attendees can also view and engage with exhibitors.

Representatives from the Centre for International Health at the University of British Columbia (UBC) recently visited the Centre for Health Systems Research and Development (CHSR&D) in the Faculty of the Humanities. The University of the Free State and the UBC are working together on two research projects. The first project, for which funding has been approved, will measure a new Health Information System that is used in hospitals. The Department of Computer Science and Informatics is also part of this project. The second project will be aimed at capacity building in the Free State health-care sector around issues of occupational health. For this project the CHSR&D will work in close cooperation with the Faculty of Medicine, the Department of Computer Science and Informatics, the Free State Department of Health, and various hospitals. Pictured seated, from the left, are: Prof. Jerry Spiegel (Director: Centre for International Health, UBC), Lucky Nophale (Provincial Occupational Health Unit), Dr Kerry Uebel (Free State Department of Health) and Prof. Annalee Yassi (UBC).
