The "National Electronic Health Operator" company, which maintains the unified ARMED electronic health system, is expanding its cooperation with the best foreign doctors, who can provide the  second opinion online through the system. A group of doctors from University of Freiburg, which is considered to be one of the leading medical institutions in Germany and in Europe, arrived in Yerevan to discuss  further cooperation.

At Freiburg University Hospital, it is possible to diagnose rare subtypes of diseases. This, in its turn, makes treatment more targeted and effective, including cases where the disease does not respond to traditional treatment methods.

Freiburg University Clinic has a team of high-class specialists in almost all medical fields—from oncology to cardiology and neurology. The clinic is known for its application of innovative approaches. Cooperation with ARMED will indirectly bring the medical institution's best experience to Armenia, also having an impact on the development of the healthcare system.

This will provide an opportunity to obtain second opinions from the best foreign specialists in complex cases, and especially in situations where citizens who need treatment simply do not have the opportunity to travel abroad.

"Today Armenia is moving toward digital healthcare. As a result, an institution like Freiburg University Clinic will be able to provide second opinions to our patients. This clinic can also differentiate narrower types within specific disease groups and offer targeted effective treatment to them. This cooperation also educates us; they share their knowledge with us, and this is done in a practical way. During the treatment of specific cases, in order to provide a second opinion, they may request some parameters from us that we don't have yet, but consider them to be  important for targeted treatment, the Ministry of Health will start implementing those parameters. This means development, this means progress in the healthcare field and care for our  citizens," says Avet Manukyan, Director of the "National Electronic Health Operator" company.
