The healthcare system of Artsakh is experiencing an unprecedented crisis. Medication is not being supplied to Artsakh for more than 2 months now, even via the only humanitarian international organisation present on the ground – the ICRC.
According to the information received by our Office, all medical institutions are experiencing drug insufficiency, estimated at lower than 50%.
According to local pharmacies, there is already absence of vitally important medication recorded, such as antipyretics, antibiotics, blood pressure drugs, medication for people with chronic diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases etc), vitamins and dietary supplements, as well as baby formula and medication for children.
If this situation continues, the public health of Artsakh will experience a major collapse. We expect international action to be taken as soon as possible.
