Turning your experience into impactful evidence.
Somali hospitals hold years of clinical records and staff with deep frontline experience, yet very little of that knowledge reaches the published evidence that shapes care, training and policy. The Clinical Research Excellence Program (CREP) helps hospitals change that.
Over six to twelve months, MIH works alongside a hospital’s own clinicians, within their normal workload, to turn real clinical questions and routine data into meaningful evidence that improves care. Just as important, the hospital keeps the skills, systems and processes to continue research after the program ends.
MIH works alongside your clinicians for six to twelve months.
Research is built around routine clinical work and data.
The hospital keeps the skills, systems and processes after the program ends.
CREP is designed for hospitals and clinics that:
Participants are typically:
CREP gives a select group of hospital staff both training and mentorship, together covering the full research cycle, from choosing a question to using and sharing the results.
Participants take part in hands-on workshops covering each stage of the research cycle. Each participant can also opt into a pathway to an MIH Professional Certificate.
Alongside the workshops, dedicated MIH supervisors work closely with the program participants, guiding each study through every stage of the research cycle. Participants lead their own studies throughout, so the skills and research leadership stay in the hospital.
Training and mentorship follow five stages, each ending in a concrete output for the hospital:
Priority research questions agreed with leadership.
Full study protocols and ethics applications.
Clean, documented datasets ready for analysis.
Analysis plan and completed results for each project.
Submitted manuscripts and a post-CREP research plan.

✓ Benefit 04
For the hospital through published, citable work.
✓ Benefit 05
An annual Hospital Research Night that marks the team’s achievements.
To strengthen research inside partner hospitals through training and mentorship across the full research cycle, so clinical teams can turn their own experience and data into evidence that improves care.
Both partners are in Mogadishu.
11 participants are enrolled: 7 at Dhiblawe Liver and Digestive Clinic and 4 at Osoble Hospital. They are now working on their own research projects, with training and mentorship from MIH.
The program started recently. Results will be shared as projects progress.
