Mission Accomplished the TMRI story

The TMRU is one of the Units under the Caribbean Institute of Health Research (CAIHR) formerly known as the Topical Medicine Research Institute (TMRI). The TMRU has revolutionised the management and care of malnutrition and was the first to develop a practical manual for the World Health Organization (WHO) on the management of malnutrition. The work of this Unit has influenced policy and practice globally. During the lecture Professor Jackson who played a seminal role in the TMRU’s accomplishments, will take us on a historical journey of the Unit and its mission.
