malaria and AIDS as main causes of morbidity and mortality are a focus
for clinical and epidemiological studies. On the other side, the need
for improving the health care system in general cannot be overestimated.

research in developing countries. Special emphasis is placed to show
that cooperation of different health research areas if of highest
importance in future. In addition the CRSN (Burkina Faso) - University
of Heidelberg collaboration is given as a model that allows high class
research in remote areas of any developing country.
An absolutely must for all who are working in clinical, epidemiological
and health systems research for and in developing countries.
