Health Nexus is a pioneering organization established in South Africa by Dr. Lorraine Bvuma that aims to transform the clinical research landscape across Africa. Based
in South Africa and starting its operations there, Health Nexus has developed a scalable
model that can be expanded throughout the African continent. As a visionary company,
Health Nexus is taking the lead in creating and orchestrating a comprehensive clinical
research co-operative ecosystem - not as the co-op itself, but as the catalyst and facilitator
bringing together the essential partners to form this collaborative network.
Our mission is to establish an integrated platform where core membership is based on
essential capabilities, infrastructure development is shared, value creation is collaborative,
benefits are distributed equitably, and growth is sustainable and locally driven. Health Nexus
will serve as the architect and driving force behind a self-sustaining clinical research
ecosystem designed "By Africa, For Africa."
OUR VISION
As the orchestrating organization based in South Africa, Health Nexus aims to catalyze and
facilitate a thriving clinical research ecosystem that empowers African healthcare institutions,
creates sustainable growth, and improves health outcomes across the continent. Beginning
in South Africa and developing a model that can be adapted across diverse African contexts,
we will build the currently missing infrastructure through strategic partnerships and deep
community involvement. This South African-born initiative will expand its geographical
footprint to establish Africa as a global leader in innovative, inclusive, and high-quality
clinical research.
