Disease surveillance and research in vaccines, vitamin A and other health interventions in one of the world's poorest countries, Guinea-Bissau.
The Bandim Health Project (BHP) is a collaboration between The Ministry of Health in Guinea-Bissau and Statens Serum Institut in Denmark.
The Bandim Health Project is a founding member of The INDEPTH Network, an International Network of field sites with continuous Demographical Evaluations of Populations and Their Health in developing countries.
BHP is a member of the Danish Research Network for International Health (former ENRECA Network - ENhancement of REsearch CApacity). Enhancing research capacity among local physicians in Guinea-Bissau is considered of vital importance.
The Bandim Health Project is also part of Centre for International Health (CISU) at Copenhagen University. Furthermore, the project collaborates closely with Aarhus University, University of Southern Denmark and several research institutions both in Denmark and abroad.
