Four members of GHTM group participated in the 11th EDCTP Forum, helded in Paris, France, and online between November 7th – 10th 2023.

 

The EDCTP Forum is a biennial event that “provides an international platform for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research addressing the burden of poverty-related and neglected infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa and the capacity development and networking activities that support this goal”.

 

Maria do Rosário O. Martins, Isabel Inês Araújo, Mohsin Sidat and Paulo Ferrinho, all members the PPS-GHTM Research Group, attended with one oral presentation and 4 posters. The oral presentation, in which M. Rosário O. Martins is co-author, results from the EDCTP funded project LusoAfroBioethics. In this work the authors presented “Research ethics committees in Mozambique: operational and functional characteristics evaluated from a self-assessment tool in 2019”.
