STEPANAKERT - For decades, the Central Republican Hospital in
Stepanakert remained the cornerstone of medical and surgical care in
Nagorno-Karabakh. The advanced medical care provided by the staff at
the hospital remained high, despite limitations in modern technology
available for diagnostic and therapeutic treatment.
Board certified surgeons Dr. Hratch Karamanoukian and Dr. Raffy
Karamanoukian visited the Central Republican Hospital in September
prior to the commencement ceremony of the new hospital on September
24, 2013. The surgeons provided new equipment and instruments to the
Department of Plastic & Reconstructive surgery headed by Dr. Igor
Zakharyan. The instruments will allow Drs. Karamanoukian and Dr.
Zakharyan to spearhead a new microsurgical program for complex facial
and body reconstruction. `The level of expertise at the hospital is
amazing,' commented Dr. Hratch Karamanoukian, `but there are
limitations in the availability of complex surgical instrumentation
and diagnostic modalities.'
One of the key discussions made by the surgeons was the feasibility of
accessing the medical expertise in Nagorno Karabakh for medical
tourism. `The surgeons and anesthesiologists are well trained and
capable,' reported Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian, a plastic surgeon in Los
Angeles. The two doctors were provided a tour of the new facilities
and discussed the implementation of advanced surgical protocols for
the new hospital. Instrumental in the exchange was Deputy Minister of
Health, Dr. Karen Ghukasyan, an expert in the field of surgical
urology.
The surgeons are both Fellows of the American College of Surgeons and
have made several trips to Nagorno Karabakh. `The advancement of
medical technology and surgical expertise in Nagorno Karabakh remains
a priority for us as Armenian physicians,' says Dr. Hratch
Karamanoukian.
