Providing New Technology 
The NMIMR is Ghana’s only laboratory that has the capacity and facilities for 
conducting CD4 counts and viral load analysis among the official institutes in Ghana.   
The NMIMR also conducts molecular level and genetic analysis that the NPHRL is not 
capable of.    In addition, the NMIMR provides diagnostic services (CD4 counts and 
viral load analysis) for the ART pilot project mentioned above. 
The NMIMR contributes to improving HIV control programs by providing such new 
technologies for HIV diagnosis.  These new technologies, such as CD4 counts and 
viral load analysis will be fully utilised by the GoG when the ART is being promoted 
in the future.
