Improvement of the International Health
The interest of the Esther Koplowitz Foundation for the disadvantaged, regardless of their nationality and geographical location, matches the Hospital Clínic’s tradition of studying and treating poverty-related diseases. The Hospital Clínic runs the Manhiça Health Research Center (CISM) for the study of these diseases in Mozambique, where a vaccine against malaria is being developed. Likewise, it manages the Maternity department of the Hospital Español in Tetuan. Among the diverse poverty-related diseases, the CIBEK will pay special attention to malaria.
