Provision of mixed rehabilitation in post-war Armenia
Status: Completed
In 2020, a full-scale war broke out in Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). It lasted for 44 days and claimed the lives of thousands of people, leaving a large number of those injured and in need of a long-term physical and psychological rehabilitation.
The use of different types of weapons, including prohibited ammunition, has increased the number of amputees, as well as people suffering from brain, spinal cord and other serious injuries requiring long-term rehabilitation treatment.

The health system in both Artsakh and Armenia is doing its best to meet the needs of the war-affected population; but it is obvious that their capacities are limited.
In Armenia, only two medical institutions provided rehabilitation care. One was located in Yerevan, the country's capital, and the other in Gyumri. Since these two centers are too far apart, many seriously injured people were deprived of access to appropriate rehabilitation care. Thus, it was evident that the decentralization of rehabilitation services was one of the main challenges Armenia was facing.
