Asunción, Agencia IP.- The Surgical Specialties Hospital of the Social Security Institute (IPS) Ingavi welcomed a group of distinguished neurosurgeons from the United States and Brazil as part of an international cooperation project to enhance neurosurgery development in Paraguay.

This visit is part of an ongoing collaboration with the University of Wisconsin–Madison, focused on promoting academic and clinical exchange and sharing innovative experiences in neurosurgical management. One of the key topics discussed was the implementation of the ZAP-X system—a cutting-edge radiosurgery technology—and the development of a stratified protocol for managing cranial trauma in Paraguay.

The hospital’s director, Dr. Osmar Amarilla, praised the international experts’ presence and emphasized the importance of maintaining strong ties with partner institutions such as the Solidarity Bridge Foundation, which promotes humanitarian and educational initiatives in the health sector.

In addition to the exchange between neurosurgeons, the visit had a strong educational component. The hospital reaffirmed its commitment to the ongoing training of nursing staff, surgical technologists, and medical students, aligning with international neurosurgery advancements and standards.
