Neurosoft Senior Representative, Mr Fedor Fomin said the company is engaging higher learning institutions to enable medical students, resident doctors and researchers to gain practical experience with modern diagnostic equipment.

Mr Fomin said some of the company's equipment is already being used in local health facilities, particularly in cardiac and hearing diagnostic units.
