The SAMRC was established in 1969 and is dedicated to improving the health of people in South Africa, through research, innovation, development, and technology transfer. The scope of research includes laboratory investigations, clinical research, and public health studies.
We conduct research on South Africa’s quadruple burden of disease: maternal, newborn and child health, HIV/AIDS and TB, non-communicable diseases, and interpersonal violence. Our work is to acquire evidence-based information to inform health policy and practice and improve the quality and health status of people in South Africa.

This annual lecture began in 2021 to inspire, interrogate, and explore the intersection of the ideas of healthcare and public health, and to spur actions that move these ideas forward together. This lectureship was created by donations to honor the career of Dr. Russell Harris, an internationally renowned expert in prevention who, with others, helped educate a generation of MD-MPH students. Dr. Harris wanted the lecture to honor all faculty and students who have walked back and forth across Columbia Street over the years to bridge the worlds of healthcare and public health.

Health Care Systems Research Network annual conference, April 8-10, with Sandro Galea, MD, DrPH, as plenary speaker. The conference’s theme this year is “Optimizing Collaborations to Advance Health In a Dynamic Research Landscape.” See here for more information and to register.
The Global Coordination Mechanism on NCDs (WHO GCM/NCD, Global NCD Platform Department) and the Economics and Commercial Determinants programme of work (Department of Social Determinants) at the World Health Organization (WHO), and the School of Public Health at the Washington University are co-organizing the first global dialogue “Business for health: Finding business and public health convergence towards preventing and managing NCDs - Conversation with Deans of Business and Public Health Schools”.
Hosting deans and directors of business and public health schools, the dialogue aims to identify and spearhead practical steps to foster transformative change among academic leaders and their institutions, disrupt siloed thinking, and equip future business leaders to prioritize health equity, societal impact, sustainability, and ethical decision-making alongside profitability and efficiency.
Outputs from the dialogue will inform a draft ‘intention to action statement’ and be presented at the Second General Meeting of the GCM/NCD in April 2025, to gather feedback, refine the proposed actions, and ensure alignment with the goals of all participating stakeholders.
This panel will explore how the field of public health is prepared to address emerging risks and social inequities that affect health outcomes while drawing on past lessons and opportunities to strengthen trust in our institutions.
