Established in 1969, the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) has for the past five decades been at the forefront of responsive research, medical innovations and transformative science - the organisation conducts and funds health research, health innovation, development and research translation. Through laboratory investigations, preclinical and clinical research, and public health studies, the SAMRC has been examining the top ten causes of mortality, disability and associated risk factors against the backdrop of South Africa's colliding epidemics of maternal, new-born and child health, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), injury and violence.
