Reason for Malawi to desire NPHI 1.National Center of Excellence. This is in line with … meeting of Ministers of Health and AIDS in SADC Region of Africa. Malawi Science and Technology Act of Parliament (2003). 2.Key to further progress in elevation of health status of Malawians is in development of evidence based health policies and programs through research and development, promotion of active disease surveillance, disease prevention and control, outbreak investigations, training etc. [Anticipated] Key functions 1.Carry on existing functions: National disease control programs (TB, Malaria, Schistosomiasis etc) Public health reference laboratories Epidemiology Unit 2.Promote and implement national health sciences research agenda, monitor and coordinate research, and conduct research as necessary according to the national priority areas.

Timeline & Milestones The NPHI concept has been discussed since Little progress was made due to major changes in political leadership....but the ministry persisted and we are gaining momentum A Task Force was established with members from MOH, University of Malawi and others. The first concept paper was endorsed by MOH Senior Management in July Following intensive lobbying by MOH, the NPHI has been endorsed by all SWAp partners and now is incorporated into the national Health Sector Strategic Plan 2011 – 2016.

Opportunities (high potential) 1.Strong political will. 2.Sector wide approach (SWAp) – all health partners contribute to it. 3.SWAp = > Health Sector Strategic Plan recognises NPHI. 4.Malawi Government, University of Malawi and development partners already collaborate in various health projects. 5.Robust health research fraternity, with south-south and north south collaborations already in place. 6.High technical capacity exists within Malawi. 7.National Health Sciences Research Strengthening Initiative exists 8.National health agenda has been set. 9.Malawians are currently being trained abroad to specialize (MSc; PhD). 10.Well funded disease control programs, with long history. 11.NPHI concept paper has been drawn (and commented by IANPHI).

1.Report to SH & senior management Lessons from training sessions and site visits (CDC etc). Recommendations from Malawi team to MOH. 2.Situation analysis 3.Update concept paper “NPHI must transform public health practice in Malawi” 4.Road map 5.Stakeholder meeting – buy in, consensus, pledges! WAY FORWARD
