Work underway to resume ICRC medical evacuations from Nagorno Karabakh, says healthcare minister

YEREVAN, MAY 11, ARMENPRESS. Work is underway both with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and all international platforms to resume transfers of patients from Nagorno Karabakh/Artsakh to Armenia amid the blockade of the Lachin Corridor by Azerbaijan, Healthcare Minister Anahit Avanesyan told reporters on May 11.

The ICRC halted patient transfers when Azerbaijan illegally installed a checkpoint.

Doctors from Armenia maintain contact with their colleagues in Nagorno Karabakh for providing required treatment to patients in need.
