The Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit’s (MORU) longstanding contribution to health across Asia was highlighted during the official visit of Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal to the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Bangkok.
The visit marked the launch of the ASEAN-UK Health Security Partnership Programme in Thailand and celebrated the longstanding Thai-UK relationship in global health.
For more than four decades, MORU has brought together researchers, clinicians and laboratory scientists from Mahidol University, the University of Oxford and institutions across Asia. By combining patient and community perspectives with clinical, scientific and local expertise, its research has helped improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of major regional health threats, including malaria, melioidosis and antimicrobial resistance.
