Baku hosted on July 11 an official opening ceremony of the 23rd Congress of the World Association for Medical Law (WAML).

At the event, the first vice-president of Azerbaijan, UNESCO and ISESCO Goodwill ambassador, President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva was awarded an honorary diploma and the golden jubilee award for special merits in the development of medical law, bioethics and multiculturalism, in connection with the 50th anniversary of the WAML.
