INOVEC is committed to protecting people from the growing threat of arboviral diseases, such as dengue, by enhancing the scientific and technical knowledge on the surveillance and control of Aedes mosquitoes and other urban vectors. Our goal is to strengthen the preparedness of countries to mitigate Aedes-borne diseases and contribute to achieving the SDGs for Neglected Tropical Diseases.

Project dedicated to support the implementation of tailored, evidence-based interventions to reduce vaccine hesitancy. It addresses what type of interventions are available, which are effective, how to translate those to new contexts, and to explain the unsuccessful ones to create opportunities for learning and redesign.

RESPIRA-CV
Project led by professors and researchers from Universidade de Cabo Verde, Isabel Inês Araújo and immunoallergologist Maria do Céu Teixeira. RESPIRA-CV focuses on increasing knowledge of asthma and other atopic diseases in children and identifying modifiable risk factors to be tackle through primary preventive interventions.
GHTM members from CTM, PPS and THOP research groups, as well as our BIOTROP and BIOHUB have been involved in the activities.

Health determinants and needs of children on the move in a pandemic context: A longitudinal study for Lisbon and Tagus Valley Region.
Using a collaborative approach at the end of this project we expect to be able to:
- Identify main health needs of the refugee and immigrant children using high quality data collection;
- Understand refugee’s barriers to health care and how the determinants of health might affect immigrant’s children differently;
- Identify more suitable early-childhood interventions to mitigate inequalities over the life course;
- To quantify the magnitude of the impact of the covid-19 economic crisis on potential children´s health inequalities;
- Use this knowledge to improve existing public health strategies for a more inclusive approach, in the perspective of leaving no one behind.
