Asbarez – The United Armenian Fund, teaming up with AmeriCares, delivered $5.9 million worth of much needed medicines and medical supplies to Armenia and Artsakh, in a 40 foot sea container.
This extremely valuable shipment, donated by AmeriCares, included penicillin, anti-infective, anti-diabetic, cardiovascular, psychotherapeutic, dermatological, ophthalmic, analgesic, and gastrointestinal medicines and medical supplies.
“Through the years AmeriCares has donated tens of millions of dollars of life-saving medicines, medical supplies and equipment to Armenia and Artsakh. We value and appreciate very much this long-standing partnership with AmeriCares,” said Harut Sassounian, President of the United Armenian Fund.
In the past 26 years, the UAF has delivered to Armenia and Artsakh a total of $720 million worth of relief supplies on board 159 airlifts and 2,258 sea containers.
The UAF is the collective effort of the Armenian General Benevolent Union, Armenian Missionary Association of America, Armenian Relief Society, Diocese of the Armenian Church of America, and Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America.
