Transfer of knowledge
The NESA's aim is not only to
optimize existing surgical procedures or introduce new ones. An
essential goal of the academy is to promote the transfer of knowledge,
especially in direction of countries with limited resources.
Therefore, NESA organizes courses for surgeons in collaboration with
international organizations. Interested organisations are kindly
invited to contact the Executive Board of the NESA in order to
determine possible forms of collaboration and organize common courses.
