More than 90% of the stock of reanimation unit beds of the Ministry of Health of Armenia are occupied. This is what Minister of Health of Armenia Anahit Avanesyan said in response to deputies’ questions during today’s question-and-answer session with government officials in parliament.

According to the minister, out of the 2,446 beds, 2,300 are occupied. “Nevertheless, people in Armenia are getting vaccinated at a rapid pace. Last week, 15,000 people got vaccinated. Unfortunately, many so-called “specialists” are constantly making statements against vaccination and observance of the anti-epidemic rules, speculating public opinion. I advise them to visit Grigor Lusavorich Medical Center and see how infection doctors are fighting for the patients’ lives,” she added.
