Cohort Development for Clinical Research

At Bophelo Pele, we have established well structured research cohorts designed to support a wide range of clinical and behavioural studies. These cohorts enable researchers to identify and access the exact population profile needed for their work.
All cohorts are created with full consent in accordance with the POPIA Act, ensuring ethical and lawful engagement with potential study participants.

Rich Participant Data

Our cohorts are strengthened by robust demographic information and existing clinical records for
many individuals. This allows researchers to:

Select participants based on specific clinical profiles

Access individuals who are completely healthy with no history of facility based treatment

Work with verified, realworld health data that enhances study quality

During the COVID19 pandemic, we expanded our database to include COVID related information
such as infection history, dates, and vaccination status.

Accelerated Participant Recruitment

Recruiting trial participants is widely recognised as one of the most challenging and timeconsuming
elements of research. Our preestablished cohorts significantly reduce the effort, cost, and timelines
associated with recruitment — enabling studies to start faster and operate more efficiently.

Why South Africa?

South Africa offers a cost effective environment for conducting high quality clinical research,
supported by strong local expertise and scientific capability. Through our network, researchers gain
access to an excellent research ecosystem that combines affordability with international level
standards.
