Armenia to establish rapid response medical teams 

ArmInfo.  Rapid response medical teams (RRMTs) will be established in Armenia. The corresponding resolution was adopted at a regular government meeting  on February 12.

"If necessary, a rapid response medical team (RRMT) will be  established involving medical personnel from organizations providing  medical care and services in the Republic of Armenia, as well as  specialists from the rescue service of the Ministry of Internal  Affairs. This team will participate not only in providing medical  care and services to victims of emergency situations in the Republic  of Armenia, but also in international humanitarian missions outside  the Republic of Armenia," the document's explanatory note states. It  is noted that the group must be self-sufficient, provided with  personnel, property and equipment, food,  and have everything  necessary for deployment anywhere (within the Republic of Armenia or  abroad) and the provision of necessary medical assistance and  services to affected citizens.

The draft law provides for the establishment of the structure,  composition, and list of necessary resources for the activities of  the Interregional Humanitarian Task Force (medical drugs, medical  products, medical equipment, and logistical support), as well as the  procedure for its involvement in international humanitarian missions  outside the territory of the Republic of Armenia.
