About Us
NHRTI is Zambia’s national platform for health research, training, laboratory support, data stewardship and policy-oriented health innovation.
Built for evidence that can be used
NHRTI builds on the Tropical Diseases Research Centre legacy while expanding into a broader national role: research coordination, practical training, data systems, laboratory strengthening, technology evaluation and evidence translation for health decisions.
The institute works with ministries, universities, health facilities, research networks and regional partners so that local evidence can support prevention, diagnostics, policy, service delivery and public health preparedness.
