Policy and Program Insight HE²RO’s focus on applied, policy- and program-relevant health research for South Africa, combined with government and donor engagement (National Department of Health, NHI, PEPFAR partners), presents opportunities to offer data analytics, economic evaluations, and cost-effectiveness studies for health interventions.

Economic Evaluation Focus Their emphasis on economic and epidemiological consequences of HIV and TB suggests a need for advanced modeling, budgeting tools, and impact assessments for new interventions, funding proposals, and implementation planning.

Collaboration Network As a division of Wits Health Consortium with global partners, HE²RO can be a gateway for joint grant programs, subcontracting analytics work, and access to expert networks for multinational research opportunities.

Tech Enablement Current tech stack includes SAS, Qualtrics, and Google Workspace among others, signaling readiness for data analytics projects, survey research, and collaborative dashboards that can be offered as managed services.

Market Positioning Revenue range places HE²RO as a mid-sized research entity with a credible track record; targeted outreach to regional health departments, HIV/TB programs, and international funders could expand client base and project scale.
