Currently, the health condition of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) patients who are in Armenia is satisfactory; they are receiving the necessary medical care. Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan stated this at the press briefing held after Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the Armenian government.

Also, she reflected on the issues of informing international organizations about the situation and collaborating with them in connection with the ongoing Azerbaijani blockade of the Lachin corridor which links Artsakh to Armenia.

"We are implementing all the mechanisms so that the international organizations do their best within the framework of their mandate in terms of resolving this healthcare and humanitarian crisis. We are in daily cooperation with the Red Cross and the World Health Organization. And the Red Cross is actively involved in the processes related to the transfer of patients [from Artsakh to Armenia]," said the minister of health.

As for the patients in critical condition in Artsakh, Avanesyan said: "Even now there are patients in severe condition who are receiving medical care there. Consultations with our specialists here are always carried out. According to the possibility and necessity, we also organize the possible transfers [of patients] with our colleagues [in Artsakh]."
