The Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp (ITM) has a strong history and reputation in science, education and service delivery. Today students from over 30 countries specialise in tropical infectious diseases and health care right here in Antwerp. Our scientists carry out research in laboratories and in the field, in collaboration with partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Our doctors and nurses offer travel advice, vaccinations and medical care tailored to the individual patient, treating imported diseases, HIV and STIs. What connects all ITM employees is the driving force to improve health for all.

Our globalised world is changing rapidly. As a result of increased trade, migration, tourism and climate change, we face big health questions today. With our top level education, research and service delivery we contribute to the answers to these questions. We strengthen our partner organisations so they can take charge of science and health care in their own country. Together with our partners we work towards scientific progress and better health in the poorest regions and worldwide.
