The Câmara de Loulé plans to begin construction work on the two buildings for the Academic Center for Research and Biomedical Training of the Algarve – ABC (Algarve Biomedical Center) within 'seven or eight months', he told the Sul Informação Vítor Aleixo, president of the municipality.
Na launch ceremony of an innovative Computer Literacy and Digital Inclusion project, which also involves the ABC, the mayor from Loulé announced that there was "good news" related to these works, which will motivate an investment of 18 million euros, fully supported by the municipality.
At issue is the construction of «two buildings for innovation and research in the field of biomedical sciences and active aging», the ABC Loulé Health Research Center, at the county seat, with 3500 square meters, and the ABC Active Life, in Vilamoura, with 4000 square meters.
“This is good news because we've already started work. We are in the phase of contracting projects, surveying land and preparing the architectural design to carry out this investment of 18 million euros”, explained Vítor Aleixo.
The Public Bank of Cells of the Umbilical Cord will be installed in the Loulé building, which is currently in Porto. But this will not only be the wide-ranging valence to be installed there. The Seroteca Nacional will also have the city of Loulé as its headquarters, as well as the Center for Studies on the Safety of Medicines and Medical Devices.
In this context, a System of Drug Interactions will also be developed from the ABC Loulé Health Research Center.
As for the Algarve Entomological Research Centre, also to be installed in Loulé, it will study diseases transmitted by mosquitoes.
Also in the county headquarters building, the Biobanco do ABC will be created, which will enable innovative investigations, the Pharmacovigilance Unit of the Algarve and Alentejo, a pole of the National Agency for Clinical Research and Biomedical Innovation and a Center for Clinical Research of ABC.
In Vilamoura, ABC's Active Life Center will start operating, a center that will focus on promoting active life, focused on seniors.
“It won't be that health care we sometimes hear about, where people come here because the hospital is cheaper, they have surgery and leave. This will be a Center where people will be able to carry out their osteoarticular rehabilitation, helping them to move, but also taking advantage of the free spaces and the good weather we have in the Algarve», he explained to Sul Informação Nuno Marques, president of ABC, at the time the projects were announced in May.
The Academic Center for Research and Biomedical Training of the Algarve – ABC (Algarve Biomedical Center) is the result of a partnership between the Municipality of Loulé, the University of Algarve and the University Hospital Center of the Algarve.
