Both institutions are committed to organizing joint trainings, seminars, and conferences for physicians and medical personnel, discussing complex clinical cases, and developing effective treatment protocols. Plans are also in place for collaborative research in the field of molecular oncology, co-authorship of scientific publications, and the exchange of innovative approaches.
Special emphasis is placed on the adoption of modern diagnostic and treatment methods for cancer, as well as the use of telemedicine technologies for consultations and remote patient monitoring.

A joint action plan for the coming year has been agreed, including the implementation of collaborative research projects and the organization of thematic conferences.
