Centre for Epidemiology and Clinical Research
We are a professionally run non-governmental organization that has, since March 2010, actively engaged evidence in building local capacity for the control of communicable and non-communicable diseases. Our goal is to generate and engage scientific evidences for policy, advocacy, capacity building and control of endemic diseases and for advancing public health.
CECR was established in March 2010 by Dr. Olumide ABIODUN, a Public Health Physician and Clinical Epidemiologist, in response to a critical need for the scaling up of HIV/AIDS information and testing. The centre has since earned a reputation as a leading research centre with a complement of sound researchers and involvement in cutting-edge researches that cut across various public health disciplines. We have established collaborations with regional and national governments and also with international organizations. We have made pertinent interventions in gender and reproductive health policy formulation at regional levels. CECR is a leader in the epidemiology and control of cervical cancer in Ogun State, Nigeria. Currently, we are at the fore-front of developing partnership against adolescent hypertension in Nigeria.
Our vision
We are a leading non-governmental organization (NGO) committed to addressing Health, development and policy issues by working in partnership with people to build sustainable, healthy and productive communities.
