Conducting research means gaining an in-depth understanding of the contexts in which we operate, working with a critical approach grounded in scientific evidence, and ensuring transparency and accountability through clear and measurable reporting. In this sense, research is a tool for high-quality cooperation, developed in collaboration with international scientific communities and oriented towards continuous improvement. Because even in the most fragile settings, medicine must be rigorous, competent, and effective.
