you run alone, you run fast. When you run together, you run further - Zambian Proverb
UNZA-UCLMS has created important international collaborations between academia, health care providers, communities funders and industry and effectively closely aligning capacity development and training activities with high quality research programs. We have now networked across all continents, with 40 countries and over 70 institutions conducting multidisciplinary collaborative research on the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of major infectious diseases affecting adults and children.
