Research Institute (AHRI) (http://www.telecom.net.et/%7Eahri/)
"AHRI was founded 1969 through the initiative of the
Norwegian and Swedish Save the Children organizations seconded
by the Ministry of Health of
Ethiopia.... AHRI was erected next to a large hospital (ALERT –All Africa
Leprosy Rehabilitation and Training Center) for leprosy patients with both
in-patient and a large out-patient service ... AHRI is an independent international
research
institute with a board consisting of three Ethiopian biomedical scientists
and three international scientists within the mycobacterial field.. The research
scope of the Institute has been widened to mycobacterial research in general
including tuberculosis rather than leprosy in particular, which was the case
until 1996. Other infectious diseases pertinent to the region are not excluded
from the agenda."
