NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH Pakistan

The National Institute of Health (NIH) in Pakistan is not a factory or a trading company. It is a premier governmental public health institution and research organization.

NIH Pakistan serves as the national focal point for public health activities, including disease surveillance, prevention, control, and research. Its primary mandate is to protect and improve the health of the Pakistani population.

Key functions and activities include:

Disease Surveillance and Epidemiology: Monitoring health trends and outbreaks.

Research and Development: Conducting studies on various diseases, public health issues, and health interventions.

Diagnostic Services: Providing specialized laboratory testing and diagnostic capabilities for infectious and non-infectious diseases.

Vaccine Production: Manufacturing certain essential vaccines for national immunization programs (though this is for public health supply, not commercial trade).

Reference Laboratories: Serving as a national reference center for various pathogens and health indicators.

Training and Capacity Building: Educating health professionals and researchers.

Policy Advice: Informing health policy decisions for the government.

In essence, NIH Pakistan is a public sector entity dedicated to scientific research, public health services, and national health security, rather than a commercial enterprise involved in manufacturing for profit or trading goods.
