The MACbioIDi project celebrates the 28th and 29th of January the III International MACbioIDi Workshop, an eminently practical collaborative meeting in which training activities are developed and knowledge is shared for the development of projects. Research, development and training are the crucial aspects that arise, always with the technology applied to health sciences as the central axis. In the development of this meeting, eleven managers from hospitals and universities from Senegal, Mauritania, Cape Verde and Canada, strategic countries in the development of the project, participate.
