 KEMRI (1999), About KEMRI et al. 
 
KEMRI has been appointed as a WHO Collaborating Centre, and is also recognized by 
the CDC as a regional centre for Emerging and Re-emerging Infections, and as 
Africa’s regional centre for international organizations.    Thus, KEMRI is recognized 
for its research capacity by international organizations. 
As a leading institute in Africa, KEMRI contributed to the establishment of the 
African Forum for Health Science which undertakes two activities towards the 
promotion of health research in Africa, the organization of the African Health 
Congress and the publication of the African Journal of Health Science.    The Director 
of KEMRI is appointed as the editor in chief of the African Journal of Health Science. 
As mentioned above, KEMRI has continuously conducted research on infectious 
diseases control, and its research capacity is highly regarded by foreign research 
institutes.  Thus, it is considered that the objectives of JICA cooperation and the 
strengthening of the research capacity of KEMRI have been achieved to a large extent.
