Yakasai said the research institute aside discovering drugs, has been doing a lot of research on HIV, sickle cell anaemia, biological products, as well as striving to ensure international standards and transfer of technology from collaboration with international organizations.
The Director General of NIPRID, Professor Karynius Gamaliel said the institute could do more than its present achievements if it was properly funded.
“We are operating at 40to 55 per cent capacity especially in the area of infrastructure and funding. If we have support, this institute will do a lot not only in area of healthcare but the economy of the country, generate employment and foreign exchange,” he said.
