About
After working for about 18 years as Family physician in rural areas and Yerevan, ambulance doctor, and completing a one and half year of residency in Dermatology, Armen Hovasapian finally opted for palliative care as his final destination in medicine. He thinks that palliative medicine is different from all other medical specialties by being more of a philosophy, where you apply accumulated medical knowledge and experience in mitigating the sufferings of terminal patients. He finds satisfaction and fulfillment in doing so. At the moment he works at Masis Hospice and Yerevan No. 8 polyclinic as mobile palliative doctor. He likes to be mobile, and visits patients in need of palliative care at their homes.
