The GRAS

Founded in January 2008, the Groupe de Recherche Action Santé (GRAS) is a research institute of private status, internationally recognized, based in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. It has been approved by the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Innovation of Burkina Faso with the authorisation n° 2020/0000669/MESRSI/SG/DGRSI of June 25, 2020, making it a pioneer autonomous institute working in the field of clinical and biomedical research.

Since its foundation, the Group has developed and sustained partnerships with many national and international health, academic and research institutions, both private and public.
