METABOLIC & CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH

INTRODUCTION

This unit advances the understanding of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and metabolic disorders through epidemiological studies, population surveys, and clinical trials. Our research aims to develop effective interventions and improve health outcomes in these critical areas of public health.

The unit collaborates with relevant stakeholders in the prevention, control, and management of cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. It also focuses on metabolic diseases, with a particular emphasis on diabetes.

Areas of focus include:

  • Cardiovascular research
  • Endocrine disease research
