The National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) is a leading research institution dedicated to transforming health outcomes and advancing scientific knowledge to benefit communities across the nation and beyond. Since its establishment, NIMR has been committed to promoting evidence-based health solutions that drive positive change in public health. Our diverse team of scientists, researchers, public health experts, and support staff work in close collaboration to tackle complex and pressing health challenges, with the goal of improving lives and fostering health equity.

At NIMR, we pride ourselves on conducting high-quality research that spans a wide range of health issues. Our areas of focus include infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and emerging pandemics, as well as non-communicable diseases like cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and mental health disorders. We prioritize maternal, newborn, and child health and work to strengthen health systems through innovative and data-driven approaches. Our holistic perspective drives us to explore the social determinants of health, ensuring that our research addresses root causes and broader social factors that impact health outcomes.

Collaboration is at the core of what we do. We believe that addressing today’s most critical health challenges requires partnerships that transcend borders, disciplines, and sectors. To that end, NIMR collaborates with government agencies, academic institutions, international organizations, private sector partners, and local communities. By leveraging this network of expertise and resources, we strive to develop sustainable interventions that can be scaled and adapted to meet the evolving needs of diverse populations. Our collective efforts focus not only on disease prevention and treatment but also on empowering individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to achieve lasting health improvements.
