10 children in intensive care in Artsakh hospital amid Azerbaijani blockade
Non-urgent surgeries are still suspended in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) hospitals to save medicine amid the ongoing Azerbaijani blockade, the Artsakh Ministry of Health reported on Monday.
Medical facilities in the country are not facing a shortage of drugs or medical supplies at this point, however their imports from Armenia remain blocked.
“10 children are in the intensive care unit at the Arevik Medical Center. One of them is in critical condition. The Artsakh doctors are providing the necessary medical care to them by consulting with their colleagues in Armenia online,” the ministry said.
The Republican Medical Center in the capital Stepanakert has eleven patients, including four critically ill, in its intensive care unit, with all efforts being made to improve their condition.
“The Ministry of Health is taking all possible measures to properly overcome the situation caused by the blockade,” it said.
