We at RMU strongly believe in the importance of Research & Innovation whose benefits reflect upon the community and eventually the whole nation. Based on the same principle, the Rawalpindi Medical University has developed the RMU Community Research Model, that lays special emphasis on the promotion of research in the current health challenges that we are currently facing in Pakistan including Hepatitis, Congo Fever, H1N1 Influenza infection as well as Dengue.   The unique feature of this model is not just emphasis on the exploring the treatment options for these health challenges but taking a practical, unique and cost-effective approach of nipping the evil in the bud by promoting the awareness and education about the methods of prevention of these diseases among the masses, defining new strategies of prevention, as well as researching on effective modes of communication and education of the community about the health-related  matters.
