The participants of the meeting considered the prospects for expanding educational programs for young specialists from the Kyrgyz Republic in such in-demand fields as neurosurgery, oncology, cardiac surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, as well as anesthesiology, resuscitation, neonatology, pediatrics, genetics, and laboratory diagnostics.
