The Clinical Services Department serves the Gambian public, providing access to the medical care available at the clinics in Fajara and Keneba, as well as supporting research in the Unit by providing care to staff of the Unit and members of the public who have volunteered to be part of our research. We provide general (internal) medicine and paediatric services in Fajara. In Keneba, we provide primary healthcare services to residents of West Kiang. We constantly seek to improve the service we offer, using Quality Improvement methods to ensure we are successful. We have training programmes for our staff and for students of the nursing and medical schools in The Gambia and aim to teach healthcare workers to deliver the best quality of care that they can. We support research more directly by undertaking small studies that answer practical questions we identify in our medical practice, as well as hosting projects undertaken by Unit scientists and supporting the scientists with specific clinical skills and our expertise.
