Ukraine has agreed to cooperate with Turkey to study the experience of the city hospital project in Ankara.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal announced during a visit to the hospital during a working visit to the Republic of Turkey on November 30.

"Ukraine needs such modern medical institutions today, as the major part of the medical system is outdated. In the process of reforming it, we must build hospitals following new principles," the Prime Minister stressed.

According to Denys Shmyhal, a group of Ukrainian specialists will come to study the experience of building a city hospital in Ankara to implement similar projects within the framework of public-private partnership in Ukraine.
