Germany, France, Spain, Russia, the Netherlands, Belarus, Georgia,
the Ukraine and other countries take part in the 5th International
Congress of Plastic, Aesthetic and Rehabilitation Surgery being held
on April 12-14 in Yerevan. The congress was organized by the Armenian
Association of Plastic, Rehabilitation and Aesthetic Surgeons and the
Russian surgeons’ company of the same name. As RA Minister of Health
Norayr Davidian mentioned, it is the first time an event of such kind
is held in Armenia, which is evidence of the international recognition
and high estimation of Armenian surgeons in this sphere. According to
the Minister, plastic surgery is one of the developing directions of
modern medicine. According to N.Davidian, the modern medicine with
its humanitarian mission and universal importance is multi-national
and does not admit any limits.
According to him, such meetings and exchange of experience with
well-known specialists from foreign countries will promote raising of
professional skills of Armenian doctors, training of young specialists,
as well as integration of the national medicine into the sphere of
world medical science. According to RA First Lady Bella Kocharian,
“it is difficult to imagine modern life without plastic surgery,
as man’s striving for perfection is limitless”. According to her,
the holding of the international congress in Armenia proves that
the Armenian school of this sphere develops rapidly and enjoys the
confidence of the respective international structures.
