Abstract

ABSTRACT

Armenia is an often overlooked country with a colourful history and an unusual healthcare system from the perspective of a Canadian medical student. This report gives a portait of Armenian healthcare practices and some cultural context in which to understand these practices. The information was obtained on my month long elective in Yerevan, Armenia.

 

RÉSUMÉ

L’Arménie est parfois perçue comme un pays avec une histoire haute en couleur et avec un système de santé hors de l’ordinaire lorsqu’on adopte la perspective des étudiants en médecine au Canada. Ce compte rendu donne un aperçu du système de santé ar­ménien en ce qui concerne ses différentes pratiques médicales et va aussi fournir un contexte culturel pour d’avantage approfondir la compréhension de leurs approches médicales. L’information est fondée et inspirée par mon stage d’observation clinique d’un mois au Yerevan en Arménie.
