Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) Research Cohort

About this cohort

The Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI), wholly owned by Makerere University and incorporated in 2002, runs a clinical and research cohort platform that delivers ART to ~20% of Ugandans on treatment. Operating in 92% of Uganda's districts with partnerships across 23 African countries, IDI's cohorts span six core programmes (prevention, care, training, research, lab services, health systems, global health security). Originally founded to address HIV/AIDS, now broadened to wider infectious disease control.
