    The Organizing Committee of the Second International Medical Congress of
    Armenia is pleased to announce that the Congress will be held from the 28th
    to the 30th of June 2007. The venue of the Congress will be at the historic
    Armenia Marriott Hotel on Republic Square in downtown Yerevan. We anticipate
    the participation of Armenian medical doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and
    nurses from all over the world.

    Satellite Symposia will be held during the Congress with the aim of creating
    international partnership programs and providing up-to-date information to
    regional doctors (marz) who will be invited separately to participate
    without requiring registration. Symposia will take place in Urology,
    Neuroscience, Anesthesiology, Ophthalmology, Osteoporosis, and Nursing.

    Besides developing medical science in Armenia the international partnership
    program is an excellent opportunity to present and discuss general
    collaboration projects. Chosen sections are as follows Neurology and Mental
    Health, Mother and Child Health, Public Health/Tobacco Control, Medical
    Education, FMF, HIV/AIDS, Nursing, Dentistry, Oncology, Primary Health Care,
    Health Policy, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Disability/Rehabilitation, Basic
    Science, and Pharmacology.

    There will be a focus on medical education and the session will be lead by
    the newly elected Rector (Dean) of the Medical School, Professor Gohar
    Kalyan and the Chairman of the Scientific Committee, Dean of the National
    Institute of Health, Dr. Derenik Doumanyan.

    The third day of the conference is entirely dedicated to Diaspora-Armenia
    projects and strategy of future collaboration.

    An outstanding social program will be offered to participants and
    attendants.

    The official languages of the Congress will be Armenian and English.

    The deadline for the abstract submission is March 31st, 2007. Abstracts can
    be submitted to [email protected]. The online abstract submission form can
    be found at www.2imca.am

    For any additional information please visit the website: www.2imca.am or
    correspond with the Organizing Committee of the Congress at the above given
    address.

    Article 2 : An important message from Dr. Jerry Manoukian (President of the
    San Francisco Congress, July 2005), concerning the website of the Second
    Medical International Congress of Armenia.


    "Dear All,
    The Second International Medical Congress of Armenia is just over 7 months
    away. Their website www.2imca.am describes registration and abstract
    submission as well as some of their special activities (guest lectureship
    program, volunteering, etc). As you may have noticed, the website takes
    several minutes to download and so is a bit cumbersome.

    We have on AMIC's and our server a "mirror" website at www.amic.ca and
    www.9amwc.org/2imca/. This lists some of the information such as abstract
    submission, the tentative schedule and the Building Bridges partnership
    program. It moves a bit quicker than www.2imca.am and will soon have
    registration forms and info on the social program.

    Please let me know if you find any typos or links that don't work, or have
    any suggestion as to how we can make this mirror site more useful. We do
    anticipate having the 2imca.am files forwarded to us in the near future.

    Desnevink Yerevanoum kal Hoonis!

    Article 3 : A new website in Armenia: www.pag.am


    Dr. Ara Ter Grigorian, president of Social and Health Care Agency in Armenia
    has sent Info-Flash the following explanation:

    The idea of creating this website is to help people of Armenia to be well
    informed about State Order, to make our work more transparent and
    informative, as well as give information about health reforms and new
    policies in Armenia.

    1: To inform the population of Armenia as to what are the priorities of the
    government in health care, which health programs are included in State Order
    and are financed by State Budget. The information is very important as it
    shows also which social groups are included in the BBP (Basic Benefit
    Package), what kind of documents must be presented for by beneficiaries,
    which medical cases or diseases are included in the BBP, etc.

    2: The special information is for health policy makers, health
    administrators, professionals, and local government authorities, as well as
    for Mass Media. There is information about financing of each medical
    facility in RA, who has contract with SHA


    I hope that in the near future we will have the chance to translate some
    information into English.

    Article 4 : IV International Symposium : A Practical Approach to Infectious
    Diseases 2006. Hot Topics on Immunizations and Antimicrobials. November 5-7
    2006, Hilton Buenos Aires, Argentina.


    Editor's Note: Info-Flash learned that 1040 individuals attended the
    following symposium, which was a big success.

    This International Symposium was sponsored by the Fighting Infectious
    Diseases in Emerging Countries Foundation (FIDEC, founded by Dr. Daniel
    Stamboulian) jointly with the Miller School of Medicine, University of
    Miami.

    The Symposium was organized following the model set at the three previous
    meetings, held in Miami, and was mainly oriented to specialists in
    Infectious Diseases, Epidemiology, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine in Latin
    America and the United States, and all healthcare professionals, interested
    in updating their knowledge on Infectious Diseases.
    This year's scientific program focused on the most important topics on
    Antibiotics and Vaccines. The opening session on Sunday, November 5
    addressed the problem of the use of antibiotics in intensive care, with
    special reference to new antibiotics.

    Monday was exclusively devoted to vaccines and Tuesday sessions focused on
    topics of common Infectious Diseases.
    During these three days, a faculty of well-known specialists from USA and
    Latin America analyzed and presented updated information on topics chosen
    for their frequency and relevance in daily practice.


    Dr. Daniel Stamboulian, MD, co-chairman
    Emeritus Professor, Infectious Diseases

    Art icle 5: The UMAF/Paris mission to Karabagh


    Info-Flash received the following information from Dr. Jacques Yervant
    (UMAF/Paris):

    "Our Karabagh mission (in August 2006) was an enormous success, even if we
    did not fully met our objective, i.e. procure eyeglasses to all the children
    of Martakert who need one!

    We have been able, however, to examine, in six days, more than 2200
    individuals in Stepanakert, manufactured (tailor made) more than 800 pairs
    of glasses and equipped more than 1400 senior individuals of magnifying
    glasses to allow them to read, to sew and to "clean the rice" "printz
    makrel" as they say!

    Two ophthalmologists, four optometrists and three accompanying technical
    persons the mission personnel."

    (UMAF/Lyon).

    Vienne-Goris and the help of the UAF for the shipment, has sent 150 hospital
    beds to Armenia with additional other equipments.

    the hospital of Goris (Armenia) and 50 beds to the hospital of Shushi
