ZAGREB, Dec 10 (Hina) – The Centre for Genetics Education (GENRI), launched earlier this year at the Rijeka Faculty of Medicine, was presented in the Rijeka City Hall on Thursday.
GENRI head Nina Pereza said the centre was a result of a 50-year-long work of the Medical Biology and Genetics Department of the Rijeka Faculty of Medicine.
“The centre is of exceptional importance for the entire community, from doctors and other medical workers to patients and interested public. Raising the level of the genetics literacy of doctors and medical workers will improve care for patients with genetic disorders, and help them, their families and the public at large to make better decisions about their own health,” said Pereza.
