YEREVAN, JULY 13, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian experience in the
preventive works against the spread of the measles has been considered
to be the best during the regional conference of the World Health
Organization (WHO). This was stated by the National Immunization
Program Manager of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of
Armenia Gayane Sahakyan at the press conference held on July 13. `The
measles epidemic situation in Georgia and Azerbaijan is quite
serious. The World Health Organization, concerned about the situation,
held a regional conference in Tbilisi, attended by the representatives
from the health agencies of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey,
as well as the representatives from different international
organizations', - informed Gayane Sahakyan.
As stated by the National Immunization Program Manager of the Ministry
of Healthcare of the Republic of Armenia, during the conference words
of praise were sound in the address of Armenia for the implementation
of corresponding works to control and effectively prevent the epidemic
situation. `The representatives of the World Health Organization
advised the other countries to study the Armenia's experience and
learn corresponding lessons', - said the expert Gayane Sahakyan.
The National Immunization Program Manager of the Ministry of
Healthcare is certain that the country will not have any spread of the
epidemic, as in 2007 a wide program was carried out against the
measles and the population has a high immunity against the
decease. The only concern is the citizens at the age of 35 and higher,
who could get infected. `We will continue the prevention works with
the same pace so that the new wave of the decease does not threat
Armenia', - assured Gayane Sahakyan.
