ANNUAL REPORT JULY 2011- JUNE 2012
SEAMEO TROPMED REGIONAL CENTRE FOR MICROBIOLOGY,
PARASITOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
1. Introduction
The Institute for Medical Research (IMR) is one of the network of research
institutions under National Institute of Health (NIH), Ministry of Health Malaysia.
The NIH identifies research priorities areas through conduct of research, leading
to utilization and translation of research findings into new knowledge,
development of better tools for the diagnosis and management of important
health problems, health policy formulation, health management, and health
promotion.
IMR main function is to carry out research to identify, elucidate, control
and prevent diseases and health issues prevalent in the country. Its mission is to
improve health by 1) carrying out quality biomedical research to address national
health priorities, 2) providing specialized diagnostic services and 3) building
national capacity through technology transfer and consultative services. IMR also
provide specialized diagnostic services, training in specialized fields and
consultative /advisory services to health providers, managers and planners in
improving the health of the Malaysian population.
IMR’s vision is to be recognised internationally by the scientific community
as the leading centre for biomedical research. IMR Research programmes are
geared towards these various identified priority areas by NIH and in line with the
health problems of the country.

Health Research Priorities in Malaysia for the10th Malaysia Plan (2011 – 2015),
is to improve the health and quality of life of the people of Malaysia. This, in turn,
would enhance their productivity and competitiveness, thereby contributing the
economic development. Research findings and outputs are used by managers
and administrators of Minsitry of Health Malaysia, other Ministry and government
agencies which are related to health to improve the health status, promote
wellness and to reduce the burden of disease among Malaysians. This is towards
becoming advanced nation’ status by 2020.
IMR, one of the research institute under the NIH, will contribute to this
vision. IMR consisted of seven Research Centres (Allergy and Immunology,
Cancer, Cardiovascular, Diabetes and Nutrition, Environmental Health, Herbal
Medicine and Infectious Diseases Research Centre) focusing on biomedical and
clinical research, and supported by one Diagnostic Centre.
The IMR has 805 posts, of which 638 (79.25%) have been filled. There are
12 individuals in the Senior Management group, 208 individuals in the
Managerial and Professional Group, comprising scientists, doctors, dentists,
veterinarians, librarians, system analysts, a statistician, a pharmacist and
administrative officers. The rest of the staff i.e. 418 persons belong to the
Technical and Support group. The total expenditure of the Institute in 2011 was
about RM 83.8 million.
