Also, during their visit, some seventy patients of MUW’s Pediatric Hospital were able to have consultations with Dr. Paley and Dr. Feldman.
The purpose of Dr. Paley’s visit was to explore the possibility of scientific cooperation and creating a European Paley Institute at MUW. The institute would provide the most technologically advanced methods to treat patients with musculoskeletal system defects, including limb reconstruction, protection of joints and restoring their function in order to avoid amputation.
