The summoning of the congress is conditioned by the big, invaluable
contribution, which is made by the Armenian doctors in the world
medicine. Whichever country the Armenian renowned and innovative

acquaintances by establishing new basis for important ideas, becoming
wings of flight for the Armenian thought.

of mutual support, experience exchange and mutual complementation,
as well as by the example of sister towns to start the "Hospital to
Hospital" movement, which may become one of the main institutions of
homeland-Diaspora cooperation. "You, with your efforts and support,
should participate in the movement as well in order to bring that
