On August 30, during their visit to Ternopil, a delegation from the Autonomous Republic of Adjara met with the rector of TSMU Mykhaylo Korda.  The members of delegation, including Deputy Minister of Health and Social Welfare on medical issues Zurab Tenieshvili, Deputy Minister of Health and Social Welfare on social issues Ramaz Dzincharadze, and Honorary Citizen of Ternopil Gocha Arobelidze discussed potential new areas of cooperation with the University administration.

Zurab Tenieshvili noted that the University of Batumi has a Faculty of Medicine, which is interested in cooperation with the medical school in Ternopil. He assured that the delegation will make every effort to foster cooperation in the medical field between the two cities and as well as Ukraine and Georgia. Batumi is a twin city of Ternopil.

In addition, Mr. Tenieshvili has suggested that Ternopil State Medical University will benefit from closer working contacts with a Turkish University which has a campus  in Adjara. This institution of higher education is already  accredited in many countries.

“The Georgian government sees it as a priority that in general is that there were at least 30 percent of state-owned health facilities. In Adjara we are building a modern state hospital, which will begin to fully function in two years. This facility will operate as a university clinic. We will be happy to accept your students for practical trainings and internships in this hospital and to other health facilities in our country. We are also interested in visiting scholar exchange programs, so that our experts and scientists could work in your university, such as performing research in your labs “- said Zurab Tenieshvili.
