Instituto Conmemorativo Gorgas de Estudios de la Salud, Medical research institute in Panama City, Panama.

The Instituto Conmemorativo Gorgas de Estudios de la Salud is a research facility in Panama City with laboratories and specialized clinics. The complex includes dedicated units for virology, biotechnology, medical entomology, and parasitology, alongside a central reference laboratory serving public health needs.

Belisario Porras, then president of Panama, created the institute in 1921 as a tribute to Dr. William C. Gorgas, who had eradicated yellow fever during the canal's construction. Its building on Arosemena Avenue was inaugurated in 1928. The United States administered it as the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory until 1990, when Panama's Ministry of Health took it over; a 1997 ministerial resolution gave it its current name.

The institution is named after Dr. William Crawford Gorgas, whose disease prevention work made the Panama Canal construction possible. His legacy shapes how people today view this research center's role in public health.

The facility's reference laboratory offers diagnostic services and support for public health laboratories throughout the country. Note that certain areas may be restricted and accessible only for specific purposes or with permission.

The institute keeps a serum bank of roughly 50,000 samples and a library of about 1,139 publications by its own researchers. Since 2006 it has also run a Regional Training Center preparing community health workers from across Central America, and it serves as a World Bank–PAHO reference laboratory for HIV.
