ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - A health sciences and nursing symposium held on Sunday by the Rwanga Foundation and Lebanese French University (LFU) presented more than 30 healthcare solutions, from cancer research to the pressure on the Kurdistan Region’s health industry.
“The low number of hospitals in the Kurdistan Region in conjunction with the increase in population, has made it so that the pressure on the health industry increases,” Karzan Sheikh Muhsin, head of Rwanga’s research center told Rudaw's Vazhin Morad.
According to Rwanga’s research and studies, over 200 thousand people go to the hospital in the Kurdistan Region in one month. This has placed a significant strain on the Kurdistan Region’s health industry.
At the symposium, 33 presentations were given.
“What we show here includes animal studies. There have been experiments on animals and cell lines, meaning we culture negative cells and do our experiments on that, and we use that to test the effect of these expressions,” said Rayan Mazn, a researcher.
Mazn added that there is a lot more work to be done to get to the level they want with their research.
The goal of the Rwanga Foundation and LFU was to show the ability of the researchers and combine their research for the improvement of the health system in the Kurdistan Region.
