Research
The department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology has been
involved in many researches both in the past and present. The department as a whole embraces research
and all staff have become accustomed to different research being conducted in
the various different areas.
The
department is very keen to develop further and get involved with more research
projects. It is conducted by both the members of staff and the graduate
students. Prominent among previous research done include; the HIVNET-012 trial
that led to the widespread use of Nevirapine for prevention of mother to child
transmission of HIV (PMTCT), the RELEASE study which looked at the use of
umbilical oxytocin for retained placenta in collaboration with the University
of Liverpool and the multicenter MagPie Trial for the use MgSO4 for prevention
of eclampsia.
Numerous other studies include hormonal contraceptives and
the risk of HIV acquision, emergency contraception awareness, HPV in post natal
mothers, cancer of cervix screening, anaemia in post natal mothers, nutrition,
HIVNET, SIMBA, HIISIGCOB, 027, 046, TREGS, PHICS, HIV prevention trial network, HIVGLOB
nevirapine, cleft palate/lip and PIERS.
Current and previous research in the department is listed in
the table below. This list is by no means exhaustive because of the previous
difficulty in archiving and retrieving information.
