Tackling inherited conditions, infectious diseases, cancer, and chronic non-communicable diseases through collaborative research that bridges academia, industry, and community needs.
03
diagnosis
Diagnostic Excellence
Providing high-quality, timely diagnostic services to detect and manage health conditions effectively, thus reducing the disease burden on vulnerable populations.
04
Community
Community-Based Solutions
Engaging with local populations to tailor health and environmental solutions that are sustainable and culturally sensitive, fostering long-term improvements in community health.
Our Objectives
Education and Training
We implement educational programs including workshops, seminars, and training courses. These are designed to enhance scientific and technological literacy among citizens of all ages, with a particular focus on healthcare professionals, youth, and vulnerable groups, preparing them for an increasingly knowledge-based job market.
Research in Biomedical Sciences
We encourage local research by creating partnerships with academic institutions, research centres, NGOs, and communities. Our research aims to develop innovative solutions for local health and environmental challenges and generate knowledge that can directly benefit the well-being of our population.
Advanced Diagnostics
We establish and promote diagnostic facilities utilising advanced genomic technologies to detect diseases early, particularly those significantly impacting local communities. These services improve the efficacy of public health interventions and provide critical data for ongoing research and the development of new therapies.
