The collaboration is part of an ongoing agreement for regular professional exchanges and joint surgeries. During his visit, Dr. Pak also conducted training sessions on the latest cardiac surgery techniques and cardiovascular therapy, deepening the professional exchange between Tajik and Italian specialists.

Chief cardiac surgeon Abdusodik Abdudzhabbarov emphasized the effectiveness of the partnership and noted plans to further strengthen ties with the Massa hospital.
