The novelties in the neurological sector are considered at the sixth Congress of Neurologists and Neurosurgeons of Moldova that is held in Chisinau on October 2-5. The event, which is organized by the Society of Neurologists of Moldova, brought together specialists from the country and abroad and includes workshops and scientific activities, IPN reports.
The congress involves over 250 neurologists and neurosurgeons from Moldova and more than 20 specialists from another ten states.
The Congress’ president, academician Stanislav Groppa, university lecturer, said this meeting that gathered national and foreign specialists is an occasion for analyzing the situation in neurology in Moldova and for consulting and engaging foreign specialists in the process of developing the sector. At the same time, the European Academy Days, which are a new project proposed by the Academy, represent an honor for Moldova and also an obligation for national specialists. This event enables to discuss, initiate and continue important projects in healthcare.
Stanislav Groppa said the development of neurosciences is rather vertiginous and can succeed only through international cooperation. The discussions centered also on the implementation of the specialist training curriculum at European level and the continuous training of staff within future programs.
“We do not have access to costly diagnostic technologies, but know the global developments and, if modern diagnostic methods are presented, we try to use them in our daily activity,” said the chairman of the Society of Neurologists of Moldova Vitalie Lisnic, who teachers at the State University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Nicolae Testemitanu”.
Lecturer and neurologist Mihail Gavriliuc said the Republic of Moldova needs a qualitative jump immediately so as to keep pace with the global accomplishments. Effort should be made to improve the equipment and the training of specialists in the field. “Regrettably, neurology and medicine, in general, are a reflection of society. It is impossible to do perfect medicine in a country where the economic mechanism is not perfect,” he stated.
Mihail Gavriliuc also said that it is hard to motivate young specialists to work in the country with the current salaries. There are cases when Moldovan young people who receive training abroad return home to practice. But there are also cases when young graduates of medical faculties cannot build a career where they were born.
Within the Congress on October 5, Radisson Blu Hotel hosts the Day of the European Academy of Neurology in Moldova, which is a premiere for the European Academy.
