During the Congress closing ceremony, heads of all national delegations expressed in their closing speeches high appraisals for professional quality of presented papers and stressed the need for further strengthening of cooperation among the BMMC member states Military Medical Services.
The next BMMC Congress was scheduled for the late June 2011 in Romania, whilst, in the meantime, joint cooperative activities of the BMMC member states would continue to be carried out at the already agreed pace.
