Stuttgart's public healthcare system is entering into such a partnership with a private healthcare organization for the first time. MIOT patients who cannot be treated here will get attention at Klinikum Stuttgart and Katherinen Hospital, the government hospital network in Stuttgart.MIOT Director P.V.A. Mohandas said the two institutions would also collaborate on research work. Klinikum Stuttgart will provide advanced medical technologies and MIOT will provide healthcare training for medical and paramedical personnel. The framework of the collaboration is subject to review periodically.
