The International Stroke Conference 2013 opened at the Yerevan State
Medical University on Wednesday to address the up-to-date methods of
treating brain vessel disorders.

Minister of Health Derenik Doumanyan delivered an opening speech at
the meeting to welcome the participants. “This scientific conference
is important first of all in that it helps us embark on a new period
in an effort to create a regional center specialized in all brain
vessel diseases,” he said.

The minister noted that internationally-acclaimed specialists from
the United States and Canada have expressed willingness to assist in
the initiative. He told the participants that the conference will be
a serious stimulus to introducing the up-to-date methods of stroke
treatment in Armenia and re-training specialists.

In 2011, the State Medical University launched a specialized
neurosurgery center equipped with up-to-date supplies. The center
offers treatment by specialists trained abroad.
