In 1997, the Departments of Family Medicine in Flanders and South Africa initiated a collaborative effort known as FaMec (Family Medicine Education Consortium).
By 2005, the consortium expanded, welcoming departments from East- and Central Africa.
Fast forward to 2008, the 'Primary Health Care and Family Medicine' network was launched, spanning 45 institutions across 25 Sub-Saharan African countries.
Since 2019, Primafamed embraced Africanisation, shifting coordination from the University of Ghent to Stellenbosch University.
In this community talk, the researchers will unveil a SWOT analysis and share insights as a WHO Collaborating Centre.
