International Conference on Gynaecology and Obstetrics Was Held in TSMU
On March 3-4, the International Research and Training Conference “Women’s Health: Implementation of Current Protocols into Clinical Practice” was held in Ternopil State Medical University. Such events are traditional for our university. Every spring the leading experts in obstetrics and gynaecology come to Ternopil to discuss topical issues in women’s health.
On March 3 the conference was opened by the Rector of TSMU Professor Mykhailo Korda.
“Obstetrics and Gynaecology is one of the most important fields of medicine. The matter of health care of women of reproductive age and newborns is very important. Ukraine is the least among the European countries because of the lack and low quality of medical services. So, there are some problems at national level.
