”The 4th Armenian Oncology Congress has started!
This year the 4th Armenian Oncology congress, held under the theme “Oncology in Armenia: Current Achievements and New Challenges,” is taking place in the picturesque city of Jermuk, Armenia.

At the official opening ceremony, the Minister of the Health Anahit Avanesyan welcomed participants by noting that Armenia has achieved significant success in the fight against cancer in recent years. ‘We have an increase in the number of cases detected for the first time and a decrease in the number of deaths.’

According to the Minister, while the indicators are encouraging, we should not be satisfied with these records. “The biggest reform of the Government and the Ministry of Health in the coming years should be comprehensive health insurance, which should try to provide complete solutions to the fight against cancer.”
Anahit Avanesyan emphasized that international communications and cooperations are important, which become possible thanks to this congress, as well.
