LITHUANIA OFFERS TO NORWAY HELP OF PSYCHOSOMATIC SPECIALISTS
Today, doctors specializing in psychosocial disorders addressed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania and offered their help to the Norwegian people. According to the doctors, working with post-traumatic disorders, which often lead to psychosomatic illnesses, is specific and requires expertise that the Lithuanian doctors have acquired after the events of January 13th.
According to Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Audronius Ažubalis, if Norway expresses the need for such help, Lithuania will immediately take steps to ensure that the experts fly to Norway. Doctors of Psychosomatic Illnesses Unit of Vilnius University Hospital have offered their assistance to Norway.“Lithuania remembers well and will never forget how people feel, when their basic need of security is severely and brutally taken away. Help is often necessary not only for direct victims and their families, but also for witnesses and their family members,” A.Ažubalis says.
Already on 22 July, the Minister spoke with his counterpart, Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Jonas Gahr Støre and assured that Lithuania was ready to provide all the necessary assistance to Norway.
Today, Ambassador of Lithuania to Norway Andrius Numavičius conveyed the offer for help of psychosomatic specialists to Ambassador of Norway to Lithuania Leif Arne Ulland.
