The ARABKIR Medical Center in Yerevan, which specializes in pediatric and adolescent medicine, has now sent an appeal for help to the “emergency pharmacy of the world”, as action medeor is also known. The reason: following the military offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh, more than 100,000 people have fled to Armenia and are now in urgent need of help with accommodation and medical care. “This is also putting a considerable strain on the hospitals in Armenia, which now have to care for acute and chronically ill patients,” Sid Peruvemba, spokesman for the board of action medeor, reports. The refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh, including many children, are currently being distributed to various regions where they are being treated by local hospitals. These include the ARABKIR Medical Center in Yerevan. “Painkillers, antibiotics, syringes and cannulas are needed there in order to treat all patients, young and old, appropriately,” Peruvemba explains. On September 20, a shipment left action medeor's medicine warehouse in Tönisvorst for Yerevan by truck and is due to arrive there in the next few days. “Following the call for help that we have now received, we will now provide further support”, Peruvemba says. Since 2000, action medeor has regularly supported the children's hospital in Yerevan with medical supplies and medicines needed in various areas such as surgery, the intensive care unit and the children's clinic.
