On 10th of July, acting rector of Kirov State Medical University L. M. Zheleznov met with guests from Vitebsk State Medical University – V.A. Korneeva and fourth-year students of the Faculty of Medicine.

      Future doctors from Belarus arrived in Kirov for an internship, which will last from July 8 to July 19. During this time, they will gain valuable experience working at one of the university's clinical bases – Polyclinic No. 1 of the Kirov Clinical Diagnostic Center.

Such meetings and exchange of experience between medical universities of the two countries help strengthen ties between Russia and Belarus in the field of healthcare and medical education.
