The importance of high-quality, context-appropriate research has never been more important for healthcare in Africa.



In the latest episode of the badEM podcast, we are featuring a panel from the African Journal of Emergency Medicine (AfJEM), which is the official journal of the African Federation of Emergency Medicine (AFEM).



Peter Hodkinson, Paa Forson, Petra Brysiewicz, Ken Diango, and Lauren Lai King join us for a conversation about the incredible work the journal team has been doing. Their efforts have already been exponentially impactful, and represent a movement with immeasurable potential going forward.
