Ten patients from the Republican Medical Center of Nagorno-Karabakh were transported Tuesday to specialized medical institutions of Armenia, with accompanying persons as well as the mediation and escorting by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), informs the Nagorno-Karabakh Ministry of Health.
These patients are receiving scheduled hemodialysis. But due to the scarcity of medicines and medical supplies in Nagorno-Karabakh because of the ongoing blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijan, they are unable to receive the necessary medical care and face the risk of death.
And seven patients, who had been transferred to Armenia for medical treatment within the framework of state funding, are expected to return to Nagorno-Karabakh during the day with ICRC vehicles, and together with their accompanying persons.
A total of 26 children are currently receiving inpatient treatment at Arevik Medical Center in Nagorno-Karabakh, and seven of them are at the neonatal and intensive care unit.
And 76 patients are receiving inpatient treatment at the Republican Medical Center, five of them are at the intensive care unit, and two of these five are in critical condition.
