ALENSYS DROP

Alensys offers training units for students, lecturers, facilitators in cooperation with AUTHeR (African Unit for Transdisciplinary Health Research) a research unit at the Faculty of Health Sciences, North-West University. The aim is to develop training material for facilitators that will result in facilitator manual and training workbook.

Research activities within AUTHeR specifically focus on bio-psycho-social health in the context of epidemiology toward preventing illness, maintaining and promoting health and facilitating quality health systems.
The unit supports the World Health Organization's definition of health which states that "Optimal health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".
The transdisciplinary research team takes a holistic approach to problems and opportunities specific to Africa and developing countries where health is affected by HIV/AIDS, rapid urbanisation and where the empowerment of people and the development of human capital is high priority.
