This Strategic Plan 2020/21-2024/25 is a major milestone in the journey to re-position UVRI as a world class Centre of excellence in health research. Functions of UVRI have ably been portrayed in the PCR tests performed at the on-set of the COVID-19 Pandemic in March 2020. UVRI clearly demonstrated the research investments injected largely by our Development Partners and the Government of Uganda.
A well-developed Research Institute is a central arm of the health sector and crucial component of any health system. Functions of research institutions range from research, diagnosis of disease conditions to national disease surveillance and control of disease outbreaks.
