Врачи из США провели в НКР 120 операций

Группа врачей различных национальностей из США, представляющая благотворительную организацию "Hope for Tomorrow" (Вера в завтрашний день), в течение трех дней произвела  порядка 120 операций в столице Нагорного Карабаха - г.Степанакерте и в Шуши. Операцию еще 3-х человек планируется провести в Нью-Йорке за счет средств организации.

Как сообщает собкор АрмИнфо в Степанакерте, в составе делегации - травматологи, ангиологи, пластические хирурги и др., а также медсестры и студенты. Иницитива приезда в Нагорный Карабах принадлежит американскому врачу, члену "Hope for Tomorrow" Грачу Караманукяну, у которого идея посещения Армении и Арцаха возникла еще 5 лет назад. Это первый визит в НКР представителей указанной благотворительной организации, которая действует с 1990 года и каждый год направляет своих представителей в какую-либо страну для оказания бесплатной медицинской помощи. В последние годы  делегация "Hope for Tomorrow" посетила Голландию, Ливан и Вьетнам.

По словам Грача Караманукяна, данный визит является началом сотрудничества, и в ходе встреч с руководством республики и системы здравоохранения был обсужден комплекс вопросов, связанных с дальнейшим взаимодействием. Он обещал представить потребности населения НКР в различных заинтересованных структурах и призвать других врачей приехать и поделиться своим опытом и знаниями с местными коллегами. В подарок от себя и своей матери он преподнес системе здравоохранения НКР лазерное и ультразвуковое оборудование, которое позволит проводить обследования и операции на качественно новом уровне.

В свою очередь власти НКР выразили заинтересованность в дальнейшем расширении и углублении связей с организацией "Hope for Tomorrow".
