Our Team Visited Two World-class Centers in the USA
The Heart Institute team visited two world-class centers – leaders in cardiac surgery – Houston Methodist Hospital and The Texas Heart Institute, where world-renowned cardiac surgeons Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley worked.
We were extremely impressed by the scale of the hospitals and the level of high-tech equipment available in the institutions. We got acquainted with the research and clinical work of the hospitals, with the transplant program, and the features of managing patients after heart and lung transplantation.
We met with the directors and heads of departments of the clinics. Prof. Borys Todurov read a report on the heroic work of Ukrainian doctors during the war and highlighted the truth about the events in Ukraine.
The team made new acquaintances and agreed on cooperation and exchange of knowledge between the hospitals and the Institute.
We thank the Consul General of Ukraine in Houston, Vitaliy Tarasyuk, and Dr. Rostyslav Semikov for organizing our visit, who are making every effort to ensure that Ukrainian medicine develops and is on par with world leaders.
