Younger scientists needed urgently
South Africa must hurry up and make the necessary investments to ensure there is a new crop of young scientists trained and ready for work emerging from universities every year says Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi.
He was speaking at the opening of the KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for Tuberculosis and HIV (K-Rith). About 80% of the world's tuberculosis cases occur in just 22 countries, including South Africa.
He said institutes like K-Rith could provide the country with opportunities and training for younger scientists.
The K-Rith facility is a state-of-the-art research facility and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) has committed itself to spending $75m on research at the facility over the next 10 years.
K-Rith is located at the Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
HHMI president Robert Tijan said it was the HHMI's first project outside of the United States.
