It also operates 8 specialized centers for medical research and 135 operational units.
The representative of the clinic, Maria Ludovica Bottarelli, visited the Medical Institute of Karakalpakstan in Nukus in October last year and expressed her readiness to establish cooperation. After that, a series of offline and online negotiations were held, during which possible areas of interaction were identified and an action plan was developed.
On May 16-19, the rector of the Medical Institute of Karakalpakstan, a member of the Senate of Oliy Majlis, Oral Ataniyazova, visited Italy to meet with partners and determine areas of cooperation. She, together with the ambassador, visited the Agostino Gemelli University Polyclinic and got acquainted with its structure and activities, as well as held talks with the management and leading specialists of the clinic.
As a result, an agreement was reached on cooperation in the development of the Medical Institute of Karakalpakstan and the recently established Childrenās Clinic under it in such areas as pediatric neurosurgery, neurology, and transplant medicine. Much attention is planned to be paid to the introduction of new innovative technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of these areas, the training of medical personnel and the conduct of joint scientific research.
As part of Oral Ataniyazovaās visit, a visit to the āUPMC ā SalvatorMundiā University Clinic was also organized and a meeting was held with its management. This clinic is one of the most prestigious private university clinics in Italy. āUPMCā has a great deal in the development of international programs and the creation of an innovative model of regional university clinics. An agreement was reached on the development of a program for cooperation for the development of the Medical Institute of Karakalpakstan.
The childrenās clinic at the Medical Institute of Karakalpakstan is designed to serve 3.6 thousand inpatients and 22.4 thousand outpatients.

The departments of pediatric cardiac surgery, minimally invasive surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics and gynecology are equipped with modern equipment.
