Miscarriages triple in besieged Karabakh – Official

Armenia –

PanARMENIAN.Net - Pregnant women don't have access to nutrient-rich foods in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) amid Azerbaijan's total blockade, Vardges Osipov, the executive director of Mother and Child Health Care Center of Stepanakert told Artsakhpress on Wednesday, July 19.

"Naturally, the situation has had a very negative impact on both fertility and all kinds of complications that we already encounter during our daily practical work," Osipov said.

"I should mention that in the last month, the rate of miscarriages has increased almost three times."

In recent months, he said, perinatal mortality rates have increased too.

"Naturally, all this is caused by both the stressful situation and lack of a balanced diet."
