Fiocruz and UFMG sign partnership to expand vaccine center
The president of Fiocruz, Mário Moreira, explained that this is not just a plan for Fiocruz or UFMG, but “a project of autonomy and sovereignty at a time when reducing vulnerability in relation to technologies and products developed abroad is being discussed”.
“Covid-19 has shown that we need to be more confident in discussing and developing public policies,” he said.
The dean of UFMG, Sandra Goulart de Almeida, highlighted that cooperation with Fiocruz is extremely relevant for the institution and for research in the health area.
“This is a State project. The idea is to serve the country in an extremely necessary area, which the pandemic has proven”, he assessed.
