Transfer of Even Severely Ill Patients from Artsakh to Yerevan is Impossible at This Time: Avanesyan

Transfer of even severely ill patients from Artsakh to Yerevan has become impossible at this time. This was stated by the Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan during a briefing with reporters.

“You know that we have such serious exacerbations over time; we try to ensure that professional medical assistance is provided as much as possible through contact with doctors on the ground, but this, of course, cannot be a solution. I strongly condemn that hindering patients' access to medical assistance is against all international agreements,” Avanesyan said.

“I strongly condemn that hindering patients' access to medical assistance is against all international agreements and does not conform to any humanitarian principle,” she added.
