A team of Spanish doctors is now working in Manhiça, Mozambique on an uncommon type of research. They're seeking cures for diseases that affect mostly the poor in developing countries: malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis, etc.

These diseases kill 8 million people a year. But only 10% of the funding spent on health research around the world is devoted to diseases affecting 93% of the world population. The research in Manhiça,however, enjoys support from the richest man in the world, Bill Gates. Thanks to him, the anti-malaria vaccine tests, which was on the verge of being abandoned for economic reasons by the pharmaceutical laboratory that had invented it, was able to continue. But the Spanish doctors in Manhiça must find inexpensive ways to fight these illnesses because they have no guarantees that financing will continue.
