Health Minister, Michalis Damianos is in Germany to attend a signing ceremony for the cooperation agreement in the field of hepatology, between Cyprus’ State Health Services Organisation and the University Clinic of Tubingen.

Hepatology is the branch of medicine that incorporates the study of liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas as well as management of their disorders.

According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Health, the agreement, which will be signed on the morning of 25 November, concerns the training of two Cypriot doctors in hepatology, with the aim of strengthening the monitoring of transplant patients without requiring their constant travel abroad for this reason. The agreement was made possible after a series of intensive efforts and coordinated actions by the Ministry of Health, the press release said.

It also noted that the training of the two Cypriot doctors, which will last one year, is expected to resolve the issue faced as regards monitoring and treating liver transplant patients.
