OUR WORK IN Armenia
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) runs a mental health care support project for people in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2022, we also started preparations for a new hepatitis C program in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.
How we’re helping in Armenia
In the Nagorno-Karabakh region—internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but mainly populated and governed by ethnic Armenians—we support mental health services by conducting training and monitoring patient care in public health facilities. The aim is to strengthen the technical capacity of local psychologists, health workers, and social workers in these locations, and improve access to mental health services.
In addition, we began preparations for the opening of a new project in Armenia focused on providing hepatitis C treatment to people living in vulnerable circumstances, including prisoners. The project will offer access to timely screening, diagnosis, and treatment for hepatitis C disease through a simplified ‘one-stop-shop’ service model in a general health care facility in Yerevan. It will launch in 2023.
