A special purpose medical unit from the Russian peacekeeping contingent continues to provide assistance to the local population both in Stepanakert and in other settlements of Nagorno-Karabakh, the Russia Defense Ministry said on Monday. 

Russian peacekeepers from the special-purpose medical detachment (SMU) have created multifunctional medical teams to ensure the field work of military medics in remote localities of Nagorno-Karabakh. Over the past day, Russian military medics have provided medical assistance to 40 residents of Gishi village.

"In total, more than 800 residents of Nagorno-Karabakh received qualified medical care in the field hospital of the Ministry of Defence, including 100 children. All citizens who applied received consultations and necessary appointments after being examined by qualified therapists, surgeons and other specialized specialists in a deployed mobile hospital," the source said. 

According to the source, appeals from local residents are usually associated with exacerbation of various chronic diseases, as well as diseases of the cardiovascular and endocrine systems, and dental care.
