Funding will play a key role in training young scientists on the continent, beneficiary says.

The KwaZulu-Natal-based Africa Health Research Institute has been awarded a seven-year R1.6 billion grant by the Wellcome Trust to expand scientific research to solve key health issues like HIV and tuberculosis . The institute confirmed the investment news earlier this week in a statement that noted that a key focus of the research will be the prevention of the spread in rural communities.
