A department of the Russian Healthcare Ministry, Chechen Healthcare Ministry and the Medical Faculty of the Chechen State University are planning to open the Medical Academy, dean of the Medical Faculty Idris Baysultanov said.
He noted that the need to open the academy was justified by Russian Minister for Healthcare and Social Development Veronika Skvortsova to improve medical education and train specialists.
Baysultanov expects it to become one of the best Medical Academies of the NCFD.
Cooperation agreements have already been signed with the Astrakhan and North Ossetian Medical Academies and the Moscow State Medical University of I.M. Sechenov.
The Russian government announced readiness to consider the request of Chechnya to open the academy in late 2012. A republican program for development of staff training for healthcare was developed in Chechnya.
