screening contributed to an increase in the screening rate of blood for transfusion 
through the spread of HEPCELL II, a test kit for Hepatits B developed by KEMRI.   
Moreover, collaboration research by KEMRI also contributed to human resources 
development in the medical sector as a training place for foreign researchers.  In 
addition, through the support to the AFHES and the African Journal of Health Science, 
KEMRI conducts human resources development in the medical sector in the African 
region.    It is expected that KEMRI will take leadership in the medical sector in the 
African region, and conduct training related to development research and contribute 
directly to the health services.
