Health Minister Teymur Musayev emphasized that the cooperation between our countries has developed dynamically in recent years: "Frequent meetings of heads of state, as well as mutual visits of government members, play a crucial role in the development of relations between the two countries in various fields."

The minister pointed out that there is a great potential for the development of cooperation between Azerbaijan and Sweden in the field of health care. According to him, there are all the necessary opportunities for exchanging modern methodological and scientific-practical information in the field of continuous professional education of medical specialists: "One of the universal models of health care has been created in Sweden.
