Center for Health Research

Health issues in both communicable and non-communicable diseases are prolific problems that may cause drawbacks for nation development. These problems occurred as a combination of the various causes, including more variation in pathogens, climate change, economic and politics fluctuation as well as the lack of awareness in society about health. Often the health issue is caused by more than one factor, therefore, holistic approaches by rigorous research are needed to find the root of the problem and also find the possible solutions to offer.
