Mwanza Intervention Trials Unit

The Mwanza Intervention Trials Unit (MITU, or the Unit) was established in 2006 by the Tanzania National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), with initial funding from the UK Medical Research Council (MRC). The Unit was established to build on the longstanding and highly successful research collaboration in Mwanza between the two institutions.
