Recently a group of doctors was sent to the village of Karin Tak,
Shushi.
The group included a general doctor, a neurologist, an ENT doctor,
an ophthalmologist, a gynecologist and a surgeon, as well as the
executive director and two pediatricians of the regional hospital of
Shushi. The executive director had also brought charity medicine. A
senior official of the Ministry of Health Karineh Alexanyan said the
visit of doctors was on the occasion of the May holidays. Despite
the bad weather, a lot of people saw the doctors. Within a day the
doctors examined 120 people (the population of the village is 600). 29
were examined by the ophthalmologist, 23 by the ENT doctor, 20 by
the neurologist, 17 by the surgeon, 20 by the general doctor and 11
by the gynecologist. The majority of patients had hypertension. The
reason is, according to Karineh Alexanian, humidity. Some patients
were sent to the hospital of Shushi for inpatient treatment, yet
others were sent to the republic hospital. There were patients who
needed special examination. Karineh Alexanian said later they will
be sent abroad for treatment on a governmental allowance.
