Borys Todurov, Head of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, X-Ray and Extracorporeal Technologies of the Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine, Director of the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, delivered a lecture at the Dinon Memorial Lecture. The event was held at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The lecture was devoted to heart transplantation and the work of our team during the war.

“It is very important to inform and continue to tell the American and world community the whole truth about the terrible Russian aggression against Ukraine, about the work of Ukrainian doctors in difficult times and emphasize that only by joint efforts we can defeat our common enemy,” said Borys Todurov.

He noted that he was extremely pleased to see a full hall of American colleagues who were very responsive to the report.

The Ukrainian team is grateful for the invitation to their compatriot, Thomas Jefferson Hospital cardiologist Yevhen Storozhynsky, and believes that this could be the beginning of a good cooperation and friendship.

The Ukrainian doctors also met with the Ukrainian community in Philadelphia, which became a meeting of kindred spirits.
