Uganda: World Health Organization (WHO) joins Uganda to celebrate 90 years of the Uganda Virus Research Institute
The World Health Organization joined the Government of Uganda and partners in celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI), one of Africa's most respected institutions for infectious disease research, surveillance and outbreak response. For 90 years, UVRI has contributed to scientific discovery and public health, helping Uganda and the global community better understand, detect and respond to infectious diseases. The Institute's work has strengthened national preparedness and informed public health action both within and beyond Uganda's borders. Speaking on behalf of H.E President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni during the celebrations, the Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja, Prime Minister of Uganda, commended UVRI for the nine decades of scientific excellence that have helped to put Uganda on the global map. “This is a celebration of 90 years of science in service to humanity. The discoveries made at UVRI have saved lives in Uganda, East Africa and all over the world," noted the Rt. Hon Prime Minister. Advancing health security Over the years, UVRI has made important contributions to Uganda's health security architecture, particularly in disease surveillance, laboratory diagnostics, and outbreak response. The Institute has supported the detection and confirmation of major disease outbreaks, including Ebola virus disease and other...
