Outstanding Research Team Prize
The Health Research Unit in Zimbabwe (THRU-Zim)
The Health Research Unit in Zimbabwe (THRU-Zim) was awarded the EDCTP Outstanding Research Team Prize. The team carries out a wide range of research studies across the life-course, from newborns, adolescents and through to older people.

THRU-Zim’s goal is to conduct research that addresses the most pertinent and relevant public health issues confronting Zimbabwe. It has a very strong focus on strengthening academic capacity – building the capacity not just of researchers but also of research support staff.

The Unit embeds capacity building in all its work and has hosted several EDCTP fellows. The team is also highly multidisciplinary, encompassing epidemiologists, statisticians, social scientists, health economists and others.

The Prize was presented to THRU-Zim at a ceremony at the 2023 EDCTP Forum by Professor Hannah Akuffo, an adviser to the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and former chair of the EDCTP General Assembly.
