Welcome To East African Center of Excellence for Cardiovascular Sciences
The East African Center of Excellence for Cardiovascular Sciences Project is part of a wider East Africa Community (EAC) Centers of Excellence for Skills and Tertiary Education in Biomedical Sciences Project, funded by the EAC member states through a soft loan from the African Development Bank (AfDB). The main objective of the wider project is to contribute to development of relevant and high quality skilled workforce in biomedical sciences so as to meet the EAC immediate labour market needs and support implementation of EAC’s ‘free’ labour market protocols.
While Tanzania is establishing an East African Center of Excellence (CoE) for Cardiovascular Sciences, other EA countries are establishing the following centers of excellence: Kenya (EA CoE in Renal Disease and Urology, total budget USD 42.55million), Uganda (EA CoE in Oncology, total budget USD 38.28m), Rwanda (EA CoE in Biomedical Engineering, eHealth and Health Rehabilitation Sciences, total budget USD 19m), and Burundi (EA CoE in Nutritional Sciences).
