The Center presented a research paper titled “Developing Nerve Biopsy Services in Iraq Through a Sequential Diagnostic Approach,” which received strong interest and positive feedback from international medical institutions and specialists attending the conference.

According to Al-Mousawi, the study highlighted the Center’s pioneering efforts in establishing advanced nerve biopsy services in Iraq. It detailed the sequential diagnostic methods adopted by the Center, which have significantly improved the diagnosis of complex neurological and genetic disorders in line with international medical standards.
