Kilimanjaro Clinical Research Institute (KCRI) is an academic centre for evidence-based health interventions. We initiate and conduct medical research to develop evidence for interventions and provide research training and necessary research logistics to collaborators and partners. We collaborate according to the four C’s of our institute which are conduct, contract, coordinate and consults. KCRI forms the third pillar of the Good Samaritan foundation next to health services and training.
