In addition, Abkhaz doctors began to carry out complex interventions on their own, without the help of their Russian colleagues. The center has already performed the first operations to implant cardiac pacemakers, as well as a number of vascular operations on the aorta and lower extremities.

Astamur Gunia expressed gratitude to President Badra Gunba and First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia Sergey Kiriyenko for the implementation of this important project, noting that there are real lives saved behind the 500 operations. He added that the center does not stand still, and in the future the range and volume of interventions will only expand.
