What We Do

Our Services

Five integrated revenue streams — each grounded in genuine expertise, each building institutional credibility that compounds over time.

Stream 01 · Advisory

Institutional Health IT Advisory

We guide hospitals, health systems, and government health agencies through complex digital health decisions — from procurement through implementation through staff adoption. We are the research-backed voice in the room when multi-million naira health IT decisions are being made.

EHR/EMR Procurement Advisory
Independent assessment and vendor-neutral guidance on electronic health record system selection for Nigerian hospitals.
Health IT Readiness Assessments
Institutional readiness audits covering infrastructure, workforce capacity, and change management preparedness.
Digital Health Strategy
Multi-year digital transformation roadmaps for health institutions aligned to FMOH and WHO digital health frameworks.
Programme Design Support
Evidence-based design of health workforce programmes for government agencies and development organisations.
Stream 02 · Research

Research Commissions

Governments, NGOs, and development organisations need evidence. We generate it. CAAHRAD accepts commissioned research projects with rigorous ethical and methodological standards, producing work that is publishable, policy-ready, and practically actionable.

Workforce Studies
Commissioned analysis of allied health workforce distribution, retention, strike patterns, and productivity in Nigeria and across West Africa.
Programme Evaluations
Independent evaluation of health programme effectiveness for development organisations requiring rigorous evidence for funding decisions.
Scoping & Systematic Reviews

Health Technology Assessment
Evidence-based assessment of health technology and digital health solutions for procurement decision makers.
Stream 03 · Training

Training & Certification Programmes

The allied health workforce needs structured professional development pathways. CAAHRAD designs and delivers CPD-accredited workshops, institutional training programmes, and certification courses that build practical competence — not just credentials.

Health IT Literacy Programmes
Practical digital health training for allied health professionals — EMR navigation, data entry standards, digital diagnostic tools.
Research Methods Workshops
Structured capacity building in health research methodology for clinicians, practitioners, and institutional researchers.
Institutional In-house Training
Bespoke training programmes delivered at hospital and institutional level for full departmental cohorts.
Leadership & Governance
Leadership development for senior allied health professionals taking on institutional management roles.
Stream 04 · Grants

Grant-Funded Research Partnerships

The scale of the allied health research gap in Africa requires grant capital alongside commercial revenue. CAAHRAD actively develops grant partnerships with international health agencies to fund the long-form, multi-year research that cannot be commercially commissioned.

Gates Foundation Grants
Programme grant applications focused on allied health workforce scale-up and digital health access in low-resource settings.

Development Partner Research
Research partnerships with USAID, DFID, and bilateral health programmes requiring African institutional co-leads.
