Unleashing TheEconomic Potentialof Pathogen Research
We believe in leveraging emerging technologies,
research, development and commercialization
through pathogen awareness, detection,
prevention, control, and management to fast
track progress in our health sector.
Supporting Pathogen Innovations
Our role is to coordinate and facilitate research, development, technology transfer, and commercialization of innovations targeting disease control and management for plants, humans and animals – vaccines, diagnostics, therapeutics – and the attendant ecosystem.
Building Resilient Health Systems
In the wake of the global Coronavirus pandemic, the need for Infection
Prevention and Control strategies to eradicate future epidemics has become
more important than ever.That’s why we are investing in innovations targeting
disease control and management for plants, humans and animals.




The Secretariat has set up several state-of-the-art central research facilities to support research and development of vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics including: State-of-the-Art Level-2 Biobank Facility, In-Vitro Studies Facility, Biomarker Research Centre, Laboratory Animal House, and a Nanoparticle Research Centre.
Strengthening Our DiseaseDetection Capacity
Uganda's capacity to detect and respond to infectious disease
threats and outbreaks through surveillance, investment in research
and health innovations will result in;
Stronger, more resilient
health systems
Improved public
health alertness.
Agility to respond to
progressing pandemics
Cheaper future crisis containment
and management
Faster socio-economic
recovery
