Fun fact
Did you know? In Lithuania alone, an average of 115 hip joints are replaced every day with endoprostheses designed and manufactured by medical engineers.
Maybe you will be the one to create an artificial heart? Yes – it’s possible here in Lithuania. Modern medicine would be unthinkable without engineering. Medical engineers are at the heart of healthcare innovation: they design artificial organs and assistive devices, develop advanced imaging methods, and create systems that improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.
