Germany's Development Minister Svenja Schulze was in Damascus on Wednesday, where she met with de facto Health Minister Maher Sharaa to discuss cooperation between Syrian and German hospitals, APA reports citing Deutsche Welle.
"After more than 50 years of dictatorship and 14 years of civil war, Syria now has the chance for peaceful and stable development," Schulze said as she arrived.
The new program will see doctors from Germany travel to Syria to lead workshops and to train colleagues on new equipment. Some Syrian doctors will also travel to Germany.
