“Nork” Infectious Diseases Hospital posted on its Facebook page the speech of Rosa Hambardzumyan, a citizen infected with the coronavirus, addressed to “Nork” ICU.

“Unfortunately, Coronavirus is persecuting all mankind. I was taken to “Nork” Infectious Diseases Hospital when I was in critical condition. I realized that having a number of concomitant diseases should be done by very professional and responsible professionals so that it is possible to get out of that situation.

High professionalism and humanism are able to do the almost impossible. At first it was very difficult, but when there are people around you who work selflessly, they do not spare anything, even their own life and health, everything becomes possible.

Humanism revolves around patients. Because this is what gives us strength. Despite my critical condition, I felt that the entire medical staff was taking the Hippocratic oath unselfishly. Among them were the head of the 5th department Naira Stepanyan, doctors Zhenya Harutyunyan, Varsen Nersisyan, Lena Nazaryan, medical workers Karine Muradyan, Nazeli Papeyan, Varduhi Baghdasaryan and all the others.

Everything for the health, survival and future of the Armenian people.

Special thanks to Mher Davidyants, Chief Physician of “Nork” Infectious Diseases Hospital, and Minister of Health, Arsen Torosyan, for their consistent and high-level work.

Wear masks, save lives.”
