Position and Roles of the NMIMR in Communicable Diseases Control 
The NMIMR does not have an official role in infectious diseases control implemented 
by the MOH since the NMIMR is a semi-autonomous research institute of the 
University of Ghana.    However, the NMIMR is recognized as a centre of excellence 
by the MOH. The MOH recognises the NMIMR as a semi-autonomous research 
institute that can independently and objectively assess the infectious diseases control 
programs of the MOH. 
The position of the NMIMR in the main disease control programs is as follows.    In 
addition, the NMIMR also provides technical advice to the MOH and GHS through the 
dispatch of staff members for the organisation of Rapid Response Teams for national 
preparedness in the event of a major disease outbreak
