"We are escalating efforts so that the Hippocratic Oath ceremony at the Asclepius of Kos becomes a global annual event. The honor medical students that arrive here for their swearing-in the most classical Oath of Medicine, Hippocrates Oath, should be expanded to those of the largest foreign universities.
