Medical Internships and Twinning Development: Serhii Morhunov Met with Israeli Ambassador Michael Brodsky

On January 19, Mayor Serhii Morhunov met with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Israel to Ukraine Michael Brodsky. They discussed the internship of Vinnytsia doctors in Israeli clinics, the possibility of developing medical tourism, intensifying ties with the twin city of Bat Yam. Mr. Ambassador noted that the Israeli side is ready to deepen further cooperation with Vinnytsia.

During his conversation with the Mayor, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Israel to Ukraine Michael Brodsky noted that there are many projects that can be implemented jointly. "Today, Israeli entrepreneurs and companies are interested in working more actively in the Ukrainian market. Vinnytsia is a large region, and there is interest on the part of Israel in working in various fields of medicine, such as oncology," said Michael Brodsky.

Mayor Serhii Morhunov appealed to Michael Brodsky for assistance in admitting Vinnytsia doctors to Israeli hospitals for internships. "It would be good if Vinnytsia doctors and nurses working in resuscitation and emergency medicine could learn from experience in Israeli hospitals for several weeks. Vinnytsia doctors have already undergone similar internships in Italy at the Vatican Hospital, and we realized that this is a very good practice, including to change the attitude of our specialists to the organization of the treatment process, which is important for providing quality medical services," said Serhii Morhunov.

The Mayor also acquainted the distinguished guest with the work of the municipal Situation Center, by establishing of which the experience of Israel in creating a safe urban environment was used.
