About MORU
The MORU Tropical Health Network, which hosts the ‘Thailand Wellcome Africa and Asia Programme’, conducts targeted clinical and public health research that aims to discover and develop appropriate, practical, affordable interventions that measurably improve the health of people living in resource-limited parts of the world.
Aims & Objectives
Patient-centred research is the core of MORU's activities, as it has been since our establishment in 1979 as a research collaboration between Thailand's Mahidol University and the UK's University of Oxford and Wellcome. Geographically dispersed across 5 research units and approximately 50 collaborative clinical research sites across Asia and Africa, the MORU Tropical Health Network’s integrated, highly collaborative, flexible structure allows us to address and have a significant impact on global and regional health problems.
