In the context of the collaboration protocol with the Faculty of Medicine of Eduardo Mondlane University and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon, six students from that School will do a clinical practice internship in Medicine and Surgery at the Medicine I University Clinic (Professor Ducla Soares), at the Medicine II University Clinic (Professor Rui Victorino) and in the Department of General Surgery (Dr. João Coutinho), during the month of January.

The students, accompanied by Professor Francisco Antunes, were received by the Director of the Faculty, Professor Fausto Pinto, who welcomed them, praising the excellent climate of cooperation between the two largest University Institutions in the area of Medical Education, in Mozambique and Portugal. Professor Fausto Pinto highlighted the fact that, very recently, he had working meetings with the Angolan Minister of Higher Education, Professor Rosário Sambo and with the Director of the Faculty of Medicine of Eduardo Mondlane University, Professor Mohsin Sidat, with the aim of listening to the interest of the partners in those countries to extend this type of cooperation to all the Portuguese-speaking countries, along the lines of the Erasmus programme.
