Health research directly relevant to the needs of the people of developing countries is essential for equity in development as well as for improving health planning and management. the international Commission on Health Research for Development has stressed the need to strengthen the capacity of developing countries, no matter how poor, to carry out essential national health research (ENHR). Clinical epidemiologists in developing countries can significantly contribute to the manpower available for ENHR. They play a major role in the provision and practice of appropriate health care by contributing to the critical assessment of priority health problems and by carrying out scientific evaluation of new and conventional intervention tools. In clinical epidemiology units in developing countries, transdisciplinary collaboration with social scientists and health economics has enhanced the capacity to do research that would influence decision-making and health policy, even as links with ministries of health and other ENHR-committed networks are being strengthened. The potential for carrying out ENHR will be multiplied as national and regional training centers for clinical epidemiology in selected developing countries are established.
与发展中国家人民需求直接相关的卫生研究对于发展公平以及改善卫生规划与管理至关重要。国际卫生研究促进发展委员会强调，无论多么贫困，发展中国家都需要加强开展基本国家卫生研究（ENHR）的能力。发展中国家的临床流行病学家可为ENHR提供大量人力。他们通过对重点卫生问题进行批判性评估以及对新的和传统的干预工具进行科学评估，在提供和实施适当的卫生保健方面发挥着重要作用。在发展中国家的临床流行病学单位，与社会科学家和卫生经济学开展跨学科合作，增强了开展能影响决策和卫生政策的研究的能力，同时与卫生部及其他致力于ENHR的网络之间的联系也在不断加强。随着选定发展中国家建立国家和区域临床流行病学培训中心，开展ENHR的潜力将成倍增加。
