Specialists of the YerevanShengavit MedicalCenter, together with
Director Sergey Urumian and close friend of the Center, Professor of
the USA Californian Irvine University Petros Kojian, again visited
Artsakh on July 11-13.
The basic event of the first day of the three-day visit was
ceremonial opening of the medical establishment in Hadrut region's
Mets Tagher village. The establishment was renovated and provided with
up-to-date equipment, including with the needed technical means for
TV-treatment, which was realized via the joint efforts of Professor
Kojian and Director General of Shengavit Medical Center S. Urumian. The
ceremonial opening was attended by NKR Prime Minister Ara Harutyunian,
Health Minister Sergey Mosesian, and fellow-villager, RA NA Deputy
Arthur Aghabekian. The other two days, the doctors accepted patients,
holding gynecological and optical examinations and surgeries at the
StepanakertMaternityHospital and MilitaryHospital. Recently, by a
corresponding decree of the NKR President, Petros Kojian and Sergey
Urumian have been awarded with Gratitude medal for their contribution
to the development of the NKR health sphere.
Via the support of Professor Kojian, the Stepanakert Mother's and
Child's Health Care Center received new laparoscopy equipment from
Shengavit Medical Center and via joint efforts, the first surgery was
conducted here on July 12, with the use of the new method. "Our goal
is to improve the health sphere of Artsakh and make it more perfect",
said Professor Kojian.
Generally, Shengavit MC has cooperated with Artsakh for over 10 years.
In 1999, on the initiative of the California University Professor,
obstetrician-gynecologist Petros Kojian and Shengavit MC's leadership,
as well as the support of the NKR Government, a laparoscopy surgery
center was created at the StepanakertRepublicanHospital and the
Professor gifted the center the first complete set for endoscopic
surgery in Artsakh. Over 300 cholecyst surgeries were realized on
the laparoscopic method.
According to Director of Mother's and Child's Health Care Center Vadim
Osipov, the Shengavit has cooperated with our maternity hospital for
years. But, the style of the cooperation has changed for the last
years, having become more practical. The majority of the maternity
hospital's doctors have already taken advanced training courses on
the basis of Shengavit MC where a similar program has been realized
by Professor Kojian for longer period. The Artsakh specialists
were retrained in the spheres of anaesthesiology and resuscitation,
obstetrics and gynecology, human health reproduction, dopplerometry,
and ultrasonic research (7 doctors in 2010). According to V Osipov,
in spite of the laparoscopic equipment availability, it wasn't used
in gynecology for many years. Thanks to the Shengavit-based retrained
specialists, laparoscopic surgeries have been made for the last two
months, which is an innovation. Considering the progress, Shengavit
MC provided more improved laparoscopic equipment and an endoscopic
surgery center was created at the RepublicanMaternityHospital. In two
days, 13 women were operated on via joint efforts of Professor Kojian,
Shengavit and local doctors. V. Osipov is concerned about the fact
that our people are still trustless towards local doctors and they
prefer taking treatment in Yerevan. According to him, the situation has
somewhat changed the recent years, which is testified by the following
fact: while a year ago 5 or 6 surgeries were conducted in a month, 25
surgeries were fixed the last month. He believes that for gaining the
people's trust they should constantly improve and increase the level
of medical service. "But, unfortunately, everything doesn't depend on
us. Modern medicine supposes also modern equipment availability. If
the equipment is lacking, it is impossible to achieve good results
even in case of good retraining", he said, adding that as a director,
he aimed at using up-to-date devices at the medical establishment.
