Artsakh Minister of Health Mikael Hayriyan has revealed that 4 regional medical units (Hadrut, Shushi, Kashatagh and Karvachar), 1 district hospital, 9 rural medical outpatient clinics and 108 maternity wards are still under Azerbaijan's control. Almost all medical institutions throughout the country were damaged in the war, Hayriyan said, and the Ministry is working to ensure the employment of displaced medical workers in other institutions. The health authorities are currently in the process of restoring hospitals, including the Center for Maternal and Child Health Protection, the regional medical centers of Martakert and Martuni, the Lady Cox Rehabilitation Centrer, and others. The Second Karabakh war lasted 44 days and ended when Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev signed a ceasefire statement on November 9, 2020. Under the deal, the Armenian side returned all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities.
