NIAMR Research Project
Uganda Has AMR Data. What It Lacks Is a System to Use It.
Antimicrobial resistance now kills more Ugandans than malaria, HIV, or TB. The data exists across dozens of systems — but fragmented, siloed, and invisible to decision-makers. NIAMR is building the national digital infrastructure to change that.
NIAMR Research Project
From Fragmented Lab Reports to a National AMR Intelligence Platform
Five research phases. AI-powered detection. A scalable One Health architecture. NIAMR is developing and evaluating an interoperable digital platform that integrates Uganda's disconnected AMR data systems into a single surveillance resource.
NIAMR Research Project
The Right AMR Data, Reaching the Right People, in Time to Act
Clinicians, lab teams, and district health officers generate AMR data every day — but rarely see it come back as actionable intelligence. NIAMR connects these systems so the people closest to the problem can finally use the evidence.
About the Project
A National Platform for AMR Surveillance in Uganda
Antimicrobial resistance threatens millions of lives worldwide. In Uganda, AMR-associated deaths have surpassed those from malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis. Fragmented data systems are holding back our response.
