在巴马科举行的全球卫生研究部长级论坛将强调研究促进发展和卫生的挑战，需要更多的卫生系统研究，以及对科学、技术和卫生采取更大的部门间办法。卫生研究对于改善健康、公平和发展是不可或缺的，这一点现在已被广泛接受，但撒哈拉以南非洲国家如何发展其脆弱的卫生系统和自身开展卫生研究的能力却很少被讨论。最近由非洲领导的一项倡议——加强非洲卫生研究能力倡议（ISHReCA）——确定了加强非洲卫生研究能力的九项关键要求（小组1）。我们关注这些要求，并提出切实可行的战略，以可持续地加强非洲各机构的能力。
The Global Ministerial Forum on Research for Health in Bamako will give emphasis to the challenges of research for development and health, the need for more health-system research, and a greater intersectoral approach to science, technology, and health. That health research is indispensable for improving health, equity, and development is now widely accepted, 1 yet how sub-Saharan African countries can develop their fragile health systems and their own capacity to do health research is rarely discussed. 2A recent African-led initiative—the Initiative to Strengthen Health Research Capacity in Africa (ISHReCA)—has identified nine key requirements to strengthening health-research capacity in Africa (panel 1). We focus on these requirements and suggest practical strategies for sustainable capacity strengthening in African institutions.
