As Manager of the Compostelan Public Health and President of the Board of Trustees of the Santiago Health Research Institute Foundation, I know very well the great work carried out by the more than 1,100 IDIS researchers, reflected in the numerous successes and articles they publish each year. The strong growth that it experiences, not in vain the fundraising for IDIS research multiplied by 5, is an unequivocal symptom of the strength of medical research in Compostela\u201d.<\/p>\n
