Professor Christian Braegger Visits Arabkir Medical Center Again

07 June

Caries, or tooth decay, is damage to the enamel caused by bacteria and sugary foods. It often starts silently — as tiny, invisible spots — but can quickly turn into black dots and eventually deep cavities. These cavities form a dangerous path to the nerve and root of the tooth, sometimes leading to severe pain or even tooth loss.   Dear parents, please pay special attention to your children's dental health by encouraging a healthy, balanced diet, helping them learn proper and timely brushing habits, and ensuring they visit the dentist regularly. Prevention is always easier and more effective than treatment.   #CariesAwareness #caries #ArabkirMC

Arabkir Medical Center was once again honored to welcome Professor Traudel Saurenmann, our long-time partner in pediatric rheumatology.   With extensive clinical experience in leading hospitals in Zurich and Winterthur, Switzerland, Professor Saurenmann has been collaborating with the Rheumatology Service at Arabkir for the past 17 years, working closely with Dr. Gayane Khloyan, Head of the Service.   During this visit, as in previous ones, the professor consulted on approximately 40 complex pediatric rheumatology cases. She also delivered a lecture focused on focal and systemic scleroderma, enriching both clinical practice and medical education at the center.   Arabkir deeply values this long-standing partnership, which continues to enhance the quality of care for children with rheumatic conditions. #ԱրաբկիրԲՀ #arabkirmc #ռևմատոլոգիա #rheumatology

Today we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Ashot Varos Gyulbudaghyan, the esteemed head of one of the cornerstone departments of the Arabkir Medical Center—the Intensive Care and Resuscitation Department.   For decades, Dr. Gyulbudaghyan’s dedicated and tireless work has saved the lives of thousands of children. He is a true professional—one whose compassion and empathy have not only healed young patients but also brought comfort and peace to even the most distressed parents.   Congratulations, dear Ashot Varos! Your contribution is invaluable and immeasurable—not only to Arabkir Medical Center, but to the entire healthcare system of Armenia. We wish you and your loved ones good health, boundless love, and a life filled with light and warmth.    While the work in intensive care is urgent and demanding, capturing it on camera is a slow and careful process. That’s why we invite you to watch a previously aired feature by the  Public TV Company, highlighting a serious case of severe pesticide poisoning in a child.  Watch and listen once again to the words of the distinguished Dr. Ashot Gyulbudaghyan. Dear parents, please remain vigilant when it comes to your children’s health.  

Dear children, the dearest treasures of our hearts and lives,    We warmly congratulate you on one of the brightest and most joyful holidays — June 1st, International Children’s Day. This day was first celebrated 75 years ago, in 1950, when many of your grandparents were children. Years from now, you will celebrate this day with your own children and grandchildren, knowing that June 1st is, above all, about rights—your right to live in peace, to grow up healthy and safe, to be educated, to be included, to create, and to live a life full of love and warmth.   Today, we carry the responsibility to protect these rights. Tomorrow, you—as the adults of the future—will continue that mission. At Arabkir Medical Center, we are proud to be advocates, protectors, and providers of your right to healthcare. Our dedicated team of doctors, nurses, midwives, and other specialists—together with colleagues from Armenia and around the world—work tirelessly for your health, development, recovery, inclusion, and the opportunity to live a full and meaningful life.   Enjoy life in all its colors, dear children. Be healthy and happy in the warmth of your families and friendships. Dream big, turn your dreams into goals, and pursue them with courage and joy.   Wishing you good health, a peaceful sky, and a carefree childhood.   #arabkirmc #ArabkirMC #June1

An alarm sounded, prompting staff and patients to promptly proceed to the designated shelter area — part of a planned emergency preparedness exercise at the Arabkir Medical Center.   The goal of the drill was to raise awareness and strengthen practical skills in responding to emergency situations and civil defense scenarios. The exercise was conducted under the supervision of senior instructors from the Rescue Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, along with a senior specialist from the mobilization department of the Arabkir administrative district. Their professional evaluation and practical recommendations will play a key role in ensuring that the medical center is well-prepared to take appropriate and effective action in the event of an actual emergency.

Dr. Albert Lalazaryan, pediatric surgeon at the Arabkir Medical Center, recently spoke with Shant TV’s Bujinfo program to address common questions about children’s bedwetting.   We encourage all parents to stay informed and attentive to every aspect of their child’s health.
