Department of Medical Research carried out extensive research in Malaria,
diarrhoea, anaemia, iodine deficiency disorders, snake bite, viral hepatitis and intestinal
helthminthiasis. The findings have contributed to the diagnosis, management, prevention,
control and in understanding of etiology and pathogenesis of these health problems.
Moreover, the Department of
Health Planning, the Department of Health, the Department of Medical Sciences and the
Department of Traditional Medicine are also implementing research activities in addition

health programme management many researchers had commenced to conduct Health Systems
