Training lasts 3 days, including theoretical, practical content, at hospital in Adana province in southern Turkey.

A group of Iranian doctors received training in heart valve replacement which was an achievement of the Technology Transfer and Exchange Network (D8tten).

In a statement from the Adana City Training and Research Hospital, eight prominent cardiologists working in Iran's public, university and private hospitals and two national medical facility managers performed heart valve replacement by entering through the groin.

Iranian doctors examined four cases live during a three-day training session with theoretical and practical content.

In a report, Ibrahim Halil Kurt, head of the hospital's cardiology department, said the doctors they met in Iran at the meeting, came to Adana at their own request and deliberately.

“Iran has very knowledgeable and experienced doctors, but the country's technical facility is weak. They see how we replace the heart valves through the groin and the technology that we use.” We shared our knowledge and experience with them for three days. We also provided an opportunity to see the four cases live and to make profit by this chance more. “
