About Infectious Diseases Institute

Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) is a national, non-profit organisation wholly owned by Makerere University. Established over 20 years ago in response to Africa’s HIV crisis, IDI emerged when treatment and prevention interventions were becoming available in the West. Concerned about Africa’s limited capacity to effectively utilise these interventions, a group of Ugandan university professors partnered with U.S. colleagues to create an institute focused on training, research, and care for infectious diseases, particularly HIV/AIDS.

Today, IDI is a leading partner of the Ugandan Ministry of Health, responsible for about 20% of all people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Uganda. With operations in 92% of Uganda’s districts and strategic partnerships in 23 African countries and nine others worldwide, we gain diverse insights to develop tailored solutions for local communities. We believe a healthy Africa, free from the burden of infectious diseases, is achievable. Our work, encompassing six core programmes and three targeted sub-programmes for effective healthcare delivery, aims to ensure lasting health change for all.
