Jan Pirk

With a long-standing collaboration that UMC highlights during an official visit by the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Jan Pirk’s team has been described as being at the forefront of developing heart transplantation in Kazakhstan. As a specialist at the UMC Heart Center (University Medical Center), he works in cardiology and transplantology within a center that also emphasizes international training and clinical-skill development. During the same visit, the delegation learned about the center’s 15-year history and its simulation infrastructure used to apply modern approaches to medical training. The program also showcased the center’s ALEM device as part of future cooperation interests. Patients considering complex cardiac care can look to a team embedded in a broader ecosystem that links advanced clinical development with structured training and technology.
