Professor Emmanouil Pikoulis, Dean of the School of Health Sciences, paid a visit to Phnom Penh in the context of the completion of the European co-funded SAFEMA project, the consortium of which was coordinated by the NKUA’s ‘MSc Global Health – Disaster Medicine’. In Phnom Penh the Dean participated as an honorary guest in a series of events held at the University and also visited the mother-child health Hubs established as part of the project. He also had private meetings with the Minister of Health, Professor Mam Bunheng, and the Rector of the University of Health Sciences, Professor Saphonn Vonthanak, about the transfer of know-how from the NKUA’s School of Health Sciences to Cambodia and the horizontal cooperation in education and innovation across the entire range of health sciences. Finally, the new reality brought about by the launch of the NKUA’s Medical Degree in English, which favours student exchanges and young scientist mobility to and from our country, was specifically mentioned.
