YEREVAN, May 17. /ARKA/. The first regional symposium on sleep medicine
is to be held in Yerevan on May 18-19.
The symposium is held by the European Sleep Research Society, Armenian
League of Young Neurologists and the National Institute of Healthcare
of the Armenian Healthcare Ministry, Chairman of the Commission on
public relations of the Armenian Medical Association Vahe Ter-Minasian
told journalists.
"The science of sleep is one of the rapidly growing fields in the
modern medicine and sleep disturbances are pressing problems of
clinical importance," he said.
According to Minasian, sleep disturbances remain beyond the sight of
the primary unit of the healthcare ministry and narrow specialists
in Armenia, whereas the international studies demonstrate that sleep
disturbance is a serious problem and may cause stroke, heart attach
and sudden death.
"While participating in this symposium, the specialists will acquire
the required knowledge in relatively new and rapidly growing sphere of
medicine and will replenish skills with newest methods and approaches,"
he said.
Ter-Minasian pointed out that world's leading experts in the field will
make reports at the symposium. Among them are Chairman of International
Medical Association Marku Partinen (Finland), Chairman of European
Sleep Research Society Tomas Polmacher (Germany), Editor-in-Chief of
"Sleep Medicine Reviews" Jean Krieger (France), Chairman of Council
of European Sleep Research Society Claudio Bazetti (Switzerland)
and Secretary of this organization Diego Garcia-Boregero (Spain).
Ter-Minasian expressed hope that the symposium will promote the
development of medicine in Armenia in line with international
standards.
The Armenian Medical Association was founded in 2002. It has 600
members in 14 countries. Since February 2003 AMA is a full member
and official representative of International Medical Association in
Armenia.
