East Africa Network

The East Africa Network grows from strong University of Minnesota collaborations in Uganda that focus on pressing global health challenges.

We develop partnerships in the East African region that lay a sustainable foundation for interdisciplinary research and education with a culture of reciprocal engagement.

The Uganda Hub was established in August 2015 to lay the foundation for sustainable engagement. The major partners in this collaboration are Makerere University, Infectious Diseases Institute, Mulago Hospital, and University of Minnesota
