Four health professionals from the Maputo Central Hospital (HCM), who are at the beginning of their careers in the research field, received funding of around 10,000 dollars a few days ago to carry out research into HIV-related cancers.

The fund, according to "Notícias", was granted by the HCM's Clinical Research and Training Center, and awarded to resident doctors in different areas of knowledge, selected through a competition.

The aim is to promote scientific research, encourage young researchers and prioritize research in this health unit, according to a statement from the HCM.

The program is the result of a project that aims to create an alliance between the country, Brazil and the United States of America, in the development of new technologies for the prevention and diagnosis of cancer in HIV patients.

The project lasts five years and includes a training component.

Over this period, 16 projects will be funded, four per year for the same number of researchers, namely resident doctors, master's or doctoral students from different areas.
