WelCOME: RESEARCH

Open Access. African Voices. Global Impact.

High-quality research shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls—or limited to a select few. Africa’s healthcare leaders need knowledge that is accessible, relevant, and action-driven.

That’s why AfCHCA partners with SmartMedEduCare (SMEC) to create an open-source research library designed for healthcare administrators across the continent. Our goal: empower African professionals and scholars to share their work, access global insights, and shape healthcare solutions for Africa—by Africa.

Why It Matters

• Mainstream journals often cost hundreds of dollars per article, shutting out African voices.
   
• Valuable local research goes unpublished or unnoticed due to systemic barriers.
   
• Without access to timely data, leaders can’t make informed decisions that save lives.
   

SMEC changes that. By removing cost barriers and prioritizing inclusivity, we’re ensuring that critical knowledge flows freely—supporting better policy, stronger systems, and better outcomes for patients across Africa.

 What You’ll Find in Our Library

• Open-access research from Africa and beyond
   
• Practical case studies drawn from real African health systems
   
• Collaborative opportunities for authors, practitioners, and academics
