The Southern African Hub is co-hosted by the Centre for Evidence-based Health Care (CEBHC), Stellenbosch University and the Health Systems Research Unit, South African Medical Research Council in Cape Town, South Africa.

The CEBHC is a coordinating and directive institution for research, training and knowledge translation in the field of evidence-based health care, and is based at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of Stellenbosch University.

The HSRU contributes to national and international evidence-informed health and social policy decision-making and health systems. By strengthening both decision-making and health systems we aim to contribute to achieving universal health coverage and to improving health.

The Hub promotes access to and, builds capacity in the conduct and use of best evidence in healthcare decision-making in 20 sub-Saharan African countries: Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, eSwatini (Swaziland), Zambia and Zimbabwe.

They are assisted by experienced Cochrane authors who support evidence-based health care awareness-raising, and promote the conduct and use of systematic reviews addressing priority questions for the region, and mentoring of new Cochrane authors.
