We got awarded a new grant – “A randomized controlled trial of a novel, evidence-based algorithm for managing lower respiratory tract infection in a resource-limited setting” (R01-Clinical trial grant) through the National Institutes of Health, USA. Dr. Gayani Tillekeratne proposes that with this study, we will be able to develop and implement an evidence-based algorithm for improving the diagnosis and treatment of lower respiratory tract infections at Teaching Hospital Karapitiya (THK). The implementation of the algorithm will be conducted as a clinical trial at THK. Prof. Gaya Bandara Wijayaratne is the local principal investigator in this study. The co-investigators for the study are Prof. C. K.
