A national sero-survey conducted in 1988 established the average prevalence rates at 9% of the adult population.\u00a0By 1990, AIDS cases had been reported in almost all parts of Uganda. HIV infection rates rose and peaked in 1992 with some districts of Uganda registering HIV infection rates of over 30%.<\/p>\n
The JCRC was established in 1991 in response to a request by the President of Uganda H.E Yoweri Kaguta for a scientific solution to the HIV epidemic that was ravaging Uganda.<\/p>\n
The JCRC was established through a joint partnership of three government i.e. Uganda Ministry of Health, Makerere College of Health Sciences and Uganda Ministry of Defense to provide high-quality comprehensive clinical care and conduct of clinical research on HIV\/AIDS and other infectious diseases. Over the years JCRC\u2019s mandate has moved beyond HIV to address other health conditions such, Sickle cell disease, NCDs,
