In the search for answers to the current health crisis, a new Emerging Diseases Research Area was inaugurated at the JM Ramos Mejía Hospital, in conjunction with the Ibis Foundation.
This new area was made possible through a research grant from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) HVTN network.
The JM Ramos Mejía Hospital has a long tradition of high-quality clinical research, and its researchers have contributed over the years with results of great importance to public health. It is the only public hospital in the country, and one of the few in Latin America, that participates in these academic research networks.
This Emerging Diseases Research Area is part of the Immunocompromised Service of the J. M. Ramos Mejía General Acute Hospital and is directed by its Head, Doctor Marcelo H. Losso.
