Research
Though we are a small hospital, we believe academic research is central to our services and is not restricted to tertiary care institutions. In fact there is a vital and urgent call for research to return to relevance to rural populations, where most of the population lives.
Despite our small size we showcase publications that address these discrepancies in a relevant fashion.
