The Healthcare Sector Has Suffered an Irreparable Loss

It is with profound sorrow and deep regret that we learned of the sudden passing of YSMU Honorary Professor Artavazd Bagrat Sahakyan, at the age of 72. Professor Sahakyan was one of our most esteemed colleagues and a true friend of the Arabkir Medical Center. Over the years, we jointly implemented numerous programs and complex surgeries, including lifesaving liver transplants in children. He was a beloved physician, a highly skilled specialist, a loyal and irreplaceable friend, and an honest and principled intellectual. He was a remarkable human being who undoubtedly still had many unfulfilled aspirations, both professionally and personally. The Scientific Director of Arabkir Medical Center, Ara Babloyan, the Director, Arman Babloyan, and the entire medical staff extend their deepest condolences to his family, relatives, colleagues, friends, and to all who knew and valued his exceptional work. The memory of a distinguished and dedicated doctor, a kind and sincere friend, and a bright, warm-hearted individual will forever remain in the hearts of those who had the honor of knowing him.
