D-SINE Africa Overview
The Data Science Center for the Study of Surgery, Injury, and Equity in Africa (D-SINE Africa) is a strategic partnership between the University of Buea (Buea), the University of California (Los Angeles (UCLA) and Berkeley), The Ministry of Public Health in Cameroon (MoPH), the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cameroon (AIMS Cameroon), and the University of Cape Town in South Africa (UCT). We have partners from the Congo-Basin Institute in Cameroon, researchers from Soroti Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda, and the UCLA Center for HIV Identification, Prevention, and Treatment Services. This coalition is built upon a long-standing collaboration between Buea and UCLA focused on decreasing the burden of surgical diseases in Cameroon and other sub- Saharan African (SSA) countries.
