On April 27, two containers of medicine valued at $4.5 million arrived
in Armenia as part of the United States Government's humanitarian
assistance program.
After clearing customs, the medicines were delivered to our U.S.
partner organization, International Relief and Development (IRD), for
distribution. For almost twelve years, IRD has been working with local
clinics around Armenia to provide free medicine to society's most
vulnerable, including the elderly and children. This particular
shipment, all of which was donated free of charge by U.S. companies,
was one of the largest in the twenty year history of the program and
included high demand medications to control hypertension and diabetes,
among other conditions.
The U.S. Government has provided humanitarian assistance to Armenia
and the region since 1992. It takes many forms, including donated
commodities and medicines, food assistance, and small reconstruction
projects. To date, humanitarian assistance valued at over $410 million
has been directed to Armenia.
