Med-Aid Armenia: Impact Healthcare
Description
Armenia’s government has prioritized basic primary healthcare as an area that must be improved.  Simultaneously, Armenia is working towards implementing a plan for universal healthcare.  However, across Armenia’s remote and impoverished regions, many residents face overwhelming challenges in accessing even basic medical services. Preventable and treatable conditions often go unaddressed simply because healthcare is either too far away or too costly.
To help change this reality, and help build the foundation for Armenia’s improvements in the healthcare delivery system, The Paros Foundation launched Med-Aid Armenia, which is dedicated to delivering essential medical care, supplies, and support to those most in need, in addition to helping lay foundational blocks upon which to help change the overall system.Â
Sponsorship of this initiative will directly fund the purchase of basic medical equipment, supplies, and medicine necessary for our outreach efforts, and help support system wide efforts to help Armenia reach her healthcare system goals. Â In-kind donations of these materials are also gratefully accepted. Below is a current list of our fundraising needs.
In addition, we are seeking medical professionals—including physicians, nurses, and pharmacists—to volunteer their skills and assist our teams in conducting health screenings and providing fundamental medical care in underserved areas during our Med-Aid annual trip to Armenia.Â
Together, we can bring hope, healing, and healthier futures to Armenia’s most vulnerable communities.
The Need
Armenia’s government is working towards making significant changes in Armenia’s healthcare delivery system, but needs significant assistance in reaching basic benchmarks.  Access to healthcare in Armenia’s remote and impoverished areas is scarce and often unaffordable, leading to preventable medical issues. Residents urgently need basic medical aid to protect their health and prevent future complications.
Short Term Impact
In the short term, essential equipment and medical supplies will be provided to clinics in impoverished areas for patient care, while continuing education will be offered to medical staff at several partner clinics across Armenia.
Long Term Impact
In the long term, through piloting meaningful evidence based changes to the healthcare delivery system, Armenia’s healthcare system will be able to benefit its citizens. By bringing consistent medical care, new equipment and updated methods to Armenia’s remote and impoverished villages, this program will help reduce preventable health issues and improve long-term well-being. As the initiative grows, repeat visits will expand access to healthcare and strengthen the overall health of these communities.
