RESEARCH INITIATIVES

• Promote research in collaboration with universities and other institutions to train people to develop career and compete for grants at the international level and assist in the publications in scientific journals.
  
• Conduct research on different clinical specialties that focus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer and cardio-vascular complications, people exposed to or already infected with HIV/AIDS, malaria and other other infectious diseases.
