South African - Norwegian Collaboration on Health Research   

SINTEF Health Research

SINTEF Health Research is a part of the SINTEF Group, the largest independent research organisation in Norway and the third largest in Europe. Our institute have a broad international network within the health research area, both in Europe and Southern Africa.

We are concentrated in four strategic areas:

  • Medical technology
  • Health services research
  • Consultancy services and the management of data-registers
  • Preventive health care

Our strength is found in our experience and extensive knowledge within the fields of health, health services and research methodology.
Our forte is a comprehensive view in analyses and problem-solving, through close co-operation with all stakeholders; NGOs, professionals, industries, universities and authorities. Though we are a contract-based research institute, we keep end-users in mind and strive to follow our principles of improved health and quality of life for all citizens.
