A unique Training Center launched at Heart and Brain Hospital in Pleven
The first course in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery at the Heart and Brain Hospital in Pleven marks the start of the only Training Centre of its kind in Bulgaria. It will take place on 6 and 7 June 2024 and is under the ‘GESEA4EU’ programme of the European Union and the European Association of Gynaecological Endoscopy.
During the two days, for the first time, 10 gynaecology specialists from Southeast Europe will undergo a theoretical part, live demonstrations and a training part on simulators and boxing simulators, under the guidance of Dr. Alexander Lyubenov, MD, Head of the Gynaecology Department, and Dr. Atanas Alexandrov, Obstetrician-Gynaecologist at ‘Heart and Brain’ Pleven, as well as mentors from a certified diploma centre of the programme in Naples.
The aim is to broaden the knowledge and skills of the young specialists in the field of laparoscopic and hysteroscopic gynaecological surgery and to acquire an internationally recognised European certificate.
The idea is that in the future the Training Centre will also offer courses in other specialties such as urology, surgery, orthopaedics, gastroenterology, and the interest from specialists from South-East Europe is enormous. There have also been many enquiries from international students.
