Warmly welcoming all the guests, Dr. Vardges Avagyan expressed his gratitude to the Government of Japan, as well as the Embassy of Japan in Armenia for the unique opportunity, as a result of which “MAPLE LEAFS” clinic purchased a vehicle and to provide medical assistance to poor population of several regions.

Ambassador Yamada, in his turn, stressed that he is particularly glad to know that the mobile clinic vehicle enabled mobile medical team to offer educational and methodological assistance to primary health care medical staff of local outpatient clinics and community health volunteers. Good health plays an indispensable role in human creativity and well-being. Improving the health of the citizens will decisively enhance a country’s economic output, thus directly supporting long-term economic development.
