BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 23, NOYAN TAPAN. A conference dedicated to the
Armenian-Belgian medical cooperation took place on October 16 in the
hall of the Royal Academy of Science of Belgium, within the framework
of the events dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the independence
of Armenia. As Noyan Tapan was informed by the RA Foreign Ministry’s
Press and Information Department, numerous famous doctors-scientists
participated in the conference organized by the Embassy of Armenia
to Belgium and the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium.

Ambassador of Armenia Vigen Chitechian and J.Fruhling, the
Perpetual Secretary of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium,
made welcome speeches. An agreement on cooperation with some medical
institutions of Brussels was got during the conference. Reference:
The Armenian-Belgian medical cooperation started just after the
1988 earthquake, when Belgian doctors were among the first ones to
show assistance to population of the disaster zone. The Neuphrologie
Armenie-Vlandeeren organization was founded on that basis. Belgian
doctors visit Armenia few times a year till now, implement surgeries
and pass their experience to Armenian young doctors who, owing to
the NAV, get possibility to undergo training in Belgian hospitals.
