Belgrade, September 13, 2010. –The delegation of the Ohio National Guard led by General Gregory Wayt which is paying an official visit to the Serbian Armed Forces, visited the Military Medical Academy today. This high-ranking military delegation was accompanied by Mrs. Mary Warlick, the appointed U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Serbia.
‘This is a continuation of further reaffirmation of the fruitful cooperation between our two countries in the field of military medicine. We at the Military Medical Academy are willing to share with others all our achievements in the area of medical profession and science, and at the same time, we are aware of the fact that we should learn from the others. We also know that Ohio has many top hospitals we can cooperate with. That cooperation may, thus, contribute to the enhancement of universal values, and isn’t health the highest one? Therefore, I consider this today’s visit of yours as a great step towards a good direction, so let me extend you on behalf of my Management Board and all the members of the Military Medical Academy, a warm welcome to the Academy’’, said the MMA’s head, major General, Prof. Dr. Miodrag Jevtić addressing the guests from the U.S.A.
