The project is following the WHO "co-design with the user" principles in designing and implementation of the NIAMR intervention; as such the Mak research team is engaging and working with the community (CEIs) including the Ministry of Health (MoH), Uganda's National Health Laboratories and Diagnostics Services (NHLDS), the Baylor College of Medicine Children's Foundation-Uganda (BCMCF-Uganda), and Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST). The CEIs representation are led by the Director General of Health Services Dr. Charles Olaro for MoH, and assisted by the Commissioner for NHLDS Dr. Susan Nabadda, and the Programme Manager of BCMCF-Uganda Mr. Roger Kisame.
