Contributions to Science

1. Cause of death in patients on HAART, autopsy study on patients dying in the first year on HAART has shown that preventable infections are the main causes of death following by AIDS associated malignancies lead by Kaposi’s Sarcoma
2. Cervical cancer screening study where we found that visual inspection and biopsy using acetic acid is comparable with Pap smear and hence in sites where there are no or few pathologists, visual inspection can be used adequately
3. Improvement in pathology to support cancer screening and treatment where among other things, several other sites need to start training to address the great shortage of pathologists in sub Saharan Africa.
