The doctors will volunteer in gynecology, orthopedics, urology, general surgery, in particular, and neurology, dentistry, family practice, psychiatry and psychology departments.
UHEK’s 45-member medical team performed 10 thousand examinations and 200 surgeries over the past year. They have listed the medications and departments needed for a more thorough work. The team intends to do more surgeries, examinations and medication distribution this year and train the local doctors as well.
