The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has facilitated the transfer of 14 severely ill patients from Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) to Armenia amid the Azerbaijani blockade, the Artsakh Ministry of Health reported.
The patients were transported to specialized medical facilities in Armenia on Wednesday, the ministry said in a statement.
18 other patients, who have completed their treatment in Armenia, are set to return to Artsakh together with their attendants today.
25 children are undergoing treatment in the Arevik Medical Center. Two of them are in neonatal and intensive care.
83 adult patients, including 6 critically ill, are in the Republican Medical Center.
The Red Cross resumed medical evacuations from Artsakh to Armenia on Sunday, ten days after they were blocked by Baku.
