Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Princess Anne, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, has called for collaboration in research to curb outbreak of infectious diseases such as Ebola.<\/p>\n

Prof Pontiano Kaleebu, the director of Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI), revealed this after Princess Anne\u2019s visit at the Entebbe-based Medical Research Council (MRC)\/UVRI and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine research unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe (Princess Anne) says we need to work as partners and she says addressing some of these pandemics and outbreaks needs partnership, people coming with the different skills, which is quite important and good for the country,\u201d Prof Kaleebu said in an interview.<\/p>\n

The MRC is a partnership between UVRI, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), supported by the UK government and other partners. The princess is the chancellor of LSHTM.<\/p>\n

While at the research unit, which is part of the activities of her four-day visit to Uganda, the princess visited the state-of-the-art laboratories, bio-banking and clinical research facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe came here to see the work that we do in the lab. Some of the work we do includes looking at the viruses, growing the viruses, sequencing the viruses,\u201d Prof Kaleebu said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe work we do in Covid-19, the work we do in HIV drug resistance, the work we do in looking at vaccines and immune responses to vaccines and eventually to see also the work that we do here in terms of clinical work and also, the various activities done by our scientists and students.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the visit, the princess was also introduced to the unit\u2019s high capacity solar energy system, an innovation to increase the conduct of energy efficient research.<\/p>\n

The facility, through a recent grant of \u00a31.3m (Shs5.9b) from the UK government, is set to increase existing solar power generation to 70 percent by 2023, according to information from the research unit.<\/p>\n

Funds<\/b><\/p>\n

Regarding Ebola response, the British High Commission in Kampala announced two weeks ago that the UK would provide \u00a32.2m (Shs9.3 billion) to international agencies involved in the fight against the Ebola outbreak in Uganda.<\/p>\n

A press release by the commission indicates that the funds will be shared among the World Health Organisation (WHO), Unicef and the World Food Programme to support Uganda\u2019s response to the current Ebola outbreak.<\/p>\n
