Recently two representatives of Frendensdorf International and
Varuzhan Sedrakian, the president of the Children’s Association of
Armenia have visited Stepanakert. The organization cooperates with
40 countries of the world, it has been collaborating with Armenia
for 14 years now. The doctors of the organization visit the given
region and choose sick children under 13 who cannot get a treatment
in that country. After an announcement they visited Arevik Children’s
Consultation in Stepanakert. After examination they chose children
who suffer from diseases that cannot be cured in Armenia through
surgery or any other method in Armenia and Artsakh. These children
now stand a chance to get a treatment in European clinics. "A number
of children underwent operation in Germany, Holland. Belgium. Now
we make examinations, the information about the disease will be sent
to the hospitals, the specialists will make a decision on treatment
or operation. We take about 180 children under 13 from Armenia
and Artsakh. They fly twice a year, in August and February. Since
in Europe medical services are paid for children after age 14, our
children do not have insurance policies unlike the European children
and they face financial difficulty," Varuzhan Sedrakian says.
