Health Care
Nagorno Karabakh's health care system almost entirely
collapsed during the war. Since then, with the assistance of the U.S.
Congress and other international humanitarian organizations, birthing
hospitals were rebuilt in Stepanakert and three other regional centers.
However, the Central Republican hospital, built in
1930, suffered endured shelling and air raids, leaving it impossible
to restore structurally. Today, it lacks even the most basic facilities.
A new structure plus hospital equipment is needed to meet the health
care needs of the population in the area.
Altogether, 21 hospitals and other medical facilities
need repair and modern medical equipment. Medical training programs
for hospital personnel are also critical.
Suggested Programs and Estimated Cost:
Reconstruction of medical facilities and acquisition
of medical equipment,
training of medical personnel - $12 million.
