Research at Gulu Hospital
Our Research section is responsible for ensuring that we establish the facts, especially for missing information within the region and the country at large. We, therefore, contribute to the general body of knowledge that promotes disease prevention and health promotion. Led by a Research coordinator and an institutional Research and Ethics Committee, the sky remains the limit since we endeavor to collaborate with partners that have the same interests in regard to research.
How things are done
The key activities of the section include among others:
- Maintain ethical standards of practice in
research. - Ensure the Protection of research participants and
researchers from harm or exploitation. - Promote the Preservation of the research participants’ rights
