“The institute’s launch is a significant milestone in women’s healthcare in the region. Women’s health needs are diverse and complex, requiring a holistic approach to ensure that each patient receives personalized care that meets her specific needs,” said Prof. Roman, adding that the expert team will also be involved in clinical research and training.

AGI possesses state-of-the-art surgical suites with the latest technology, allowing for advanced procedures such as laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. In addition to treating gynecological cancers, AGI focuses on preserving reproductive function in patients, and improving the quality of life for patients with advanced or recurrent gynecological malignancies. The institute also offers highly advanced minimally invasive surgeries for endometriosis.
