Research within the health care setting plays a pivotal role in all our lives today. It challenges and seeks to improve current health care for us all, by finding answers about the best options available to us. It is the key to finding new and better ways of preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease and other health conditions.

Medical research can have an enormous positive impact on human health and wellbeing, which in-turn helps us to increase our knowledge in providing life changing treatments for those in need. Health research improves the quality of human lives by helping to diagnose diseases earlier and more accurately.
