Africa – India Community Exchange visit
The India-Africa strategic partnership represents an immense opportunity and promises for a multi-dimensional and dynamic South-South collaboration and cooperation. A key area of focus in this collaboration was to establish a consortium between Indian and African clinical research centers (CRCs), centers of excellence and community experts.

Same Sex Marriage and LGBT Rights in Africa
A little over a year ago, during the June 2013 Gay Pride celebration in San Francisco, California, it was announced that that the same-sex marriage ban in California would officially be repealed.
