The jurist of the Independent Health Regulatory Authority of Cape Verde, João Semedo, shared his testimony about the CT Luso Training Cycle in a video publication.
In his remarks, he underlined the importance of the training, which took place between December 2024 and June 2025, in strengthening sound ethical practices and enhancing the quality of health research in Portuguese-speaking countries. He noted that the initiative combines consistent theoretical content with a space for dialogue and exchange of experiences, enabling participants to deepen their understanding of the ethical framework that should guide scientific activity.
João Semedo stressed that the experience was enriching both personally and professionally, and that its strategic relevance demands it be seen not as an endpoint but as a starting point. He argued that the continuity of the programme is crucial to ensuring that the good practices it fosters are consolidated over time and translated into tangible benefits for communities and institutions. He further emphasised that maintaining this effort is essential to sustaining a culture of ethics and integrity capable of meeting present and future challenges in health research across the Lusophone world.
