NOVA Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

General

The Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (IHMT) is a young, century-old institution, unique in the Portuguese academy. Initially focused on the study, teaching and clinical aspects of tropical diseases, has evolved towards an integrated approach that goes from the molecular level to global health systems, adopting, without abandoning its tropical vocation, a strong commitment in solving health problems that , on all continents, afflict the poorest and the most excluded.

Since its inception, the institute has been at the forefront of research into the major tropical endemic diseases, and these lines of work still remain, now reinforced by studies on tuberculosis, HIV, prevalent viruses in the tropics, travelers 'or migrant populations' health and health service systems, which lend IHMT a strong international profile in the scope of networks and projects in partnership.

The IHMT has been recognized nationally and internationally, not only for its history, but also for its scientific quality in postgraduate education, research and for its contribution to health development cooperation in PALOP, Brazil and East Timor.

In the context of UNL, it contributes to its reinforcement and institutional cohesion, combining its centennial history with innovation and the excellence of its scientific activity. Within the strategic guidelines of the UNL, the IHMT has been actively leading its administrative and scientific policy with a greater interchange between the different UNL Organizational Units with the view of new actions and innovative domains.

In its training program the IHMT develops efforts to be the reference in the Portuguese-speaking world and to respond to the needs of the Portuguese-speaking countries, sharing their knowledge with other Organic Units with new offers of courses and teaching post-graduation programs, seeking to deepen new thematic and specializations needed in the current global world.

In the field of scientific research, the IHMT has a nationally and internationally recognized level of excellence focused mainly on Tropical Medicine and Health areas considered problematic in developing countries.

The research work is closely associated with doctoral and master's programs, as well as with technical advice and consultation to ministries of health in Portugal and other countries. The quality of the IHMT's performance was recognized by WHO with the award of Collaborating Center for Health Workforce Planning and Policy.
