Our
Logo
 The MRC's logo embodies
our vision of 'Building a healthy nation through research'.
The focus of our research
is depicted by the DNA structure on the left-hand side, which represents both
health sciences and the origins of humanity. On the right-hand side is the
depiction of a healthy, vibrant human being.
The use of green stands
for 'rebirth and hope'. The MRC leads the way in alleviating South Africa's
health burden with our work on the AIDS vaccine, new TB drugs, the reconstruction
of bone tissue, and research into factors that lead to crime and violence
in our country.
The use of blue embodies
the fountain of knowledge that will feed our nation to help improve the quality
of life of our people. We are committed to letting this fountain flow for
the quenching of our land through both sustainable health interventions and
the accumulation of appropriate information that will help our government
make decisions regarding the health of South Africa. |
