Non-Communicable Disease

The epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is rapidly developing in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Local research capacity has to be improved in tandem to provide appropriate diagnostic and treatment options to patients suited to our local conditions. In the Department of Surgery, we have concentrated out research work on multiple NCDs like:

  • Trauma – Brain Trauma, Cardiothoracic trauma, Abdominal trauma
  • Obesity
  • Smoking, alcohol and drug related disorders
  • Epilepsy, Parkinson’s and other Neurological disorders
  • Chronic inflammatory disorders
  • Chronic Pain

The Department of Surgery’s academics and other members focus on basic science, translational and Clinical Cancer Research. These includes Cancers of the Head and Neck, Breast, Gastrointestinal tract as well as Urology based Cancers. This work done with the overall intention to improve patient outcomes, care and management. Hence many projects include community-based involvement as well as hospital-based awareness to support cancer related research. The Faculty UMCRI and UM Biobanking Services is an essential part of Cancer research.
