We deliver impactful clinical innovations aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and access to quality care through novel and cost-effective solutions.
Clinical decision support
We are dedicated to providing up-to-date clinical decision support through frequent reviews and localisations of the PACK guides, covering a comprehensive life-course approach.
Training programmes
We strengthen health systems by developing and providing access to engaging, high-quality, and up-to-date healthcare training, along with implementation strategy and support.
Implementation science
Our health systems research ensures that our clinical decision support tools are integrated into routine practice, improving the quality and effectiveness of health service delivery.
The KTU is structured into specialised teams focusing on clinical content and guidance, training and implementation, design, and research. This model has consistently produced high-quality outcomes, ensuring that our interventions are both effective and sustainable.
Committed to knowledge translation, the KTU boasts a dedicated team of researchers who focus on conducting research, promoting relevant studies, and ensuring that research findings are integrated into policy and practice.
The KTU’s research team and its work are based at the University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa. Service level implementation is managed in collaboration with The Health Foundation of South Africa (THF).
