The AIM Fund celebrated the inauguration of the state-of-the-art Mitaka MM90 microscope at Erebouni Medical Center on June 11, 2024. This cutting-edge instrument is unparalleled, not only in Armenia but throughout the region. We eagerly anticipate our 27th cochlear implant medical mission, where Dr. Ishiyama will utilize this advanced technology to operate on over 10 children.

The Armenian American Medical Society honors Salpy Akaragian, PhD, RN, NPD-BC, PHN, for her remarkable impact at the 39th Annual Gala Celebration. Dr. Akaragian, president and founder of both the Armenian International Medical Fund and the Armenian American Nurses Association, and Director Emeritus of UCLA Health's International Nursing Program, has reshaped Armenian healthcare through her humanitarian efforts and pioneering programs.
