US Ambassador: More and more Armenian women are getting check-ups
“Rita Palian likes to say that by saving one woman we save a family and an entire nation,” US Ambassador to Armenia Richard Mills said during a briefing with the reports having paid a visit to Armenian-American Wellness Center ahead of the International Women’s Day.
The ambassador underscored that his choice was based on the mentioned fact.
“It is fitting to be visiting this center today, the day before International Women's Day, because it is an inspiring example of women taking the initiative and breaking down barriers to create an organization that helps other women.
The services provided by centers like this – screening for breast and cervical cancer and gynecological services – save lives. And thanks to the work of the founders and staff of this organization, more and more Armenian women are getting check-ups and receiving the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health,” the ambassador noted.
