About Research & Innovation

Research is the detailed study of a subject with the aim of discovering new information or reaching a new understanding. Scientific research follows a structured process known as the scientific method. The scientific method aims to ensure the accuracy of the findings while removing an individual's personal point of view.

Medical research is vital in ensuring that medical treatments and healthcare techniques are constantly improving. Medical research has changed the ways we care for and treat people with medical conditions, illnesses and injuries. Indeed, medical research has resulted in the development and improvement of drugs, vaccines, equipment and techniques for many years.
