The State Agency on Mandatory Health Insurance (Agency) and the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) have studied the technical needs of medical facilities providing services to IDPs and the local populations of the Barda and Aghdam regions in order to improve the material and technical supplies of these facilities. As a result of the study, the necessary technical needs of 28 medical institutions included in the state health system and providing primary healthcare were identified. GIZ donated 26 titles of medical equipment, supplies, and furniture to 28 rural medical facilities providing primary healthcare.
