Brief
History
During the Soviet period a society of anaesthesiologists
was functioning which practically stopped its activities after the break-up of
the Soviet Union. The first years of the independence were characterized by a
marked depression in the field of art and science, which was explained by
various economic problems in the republic during the transitory period. The new
society was founded in 1996 by the immediate initiative and active efforts of
its first president Prof. G. Mkhoyan, who was also the head of the chair of anaesthesiology and intensive care of Yerevan State
Medical University and the chief specialist in anaesthesiology
and intensive care of the Ministry
of Health of the Republic of Armenia. This fact significantly facilitated
the cooperation between these institutions contributing to the overall
development of our specialty in Armenia. Prof. G. Mkhoyan
was the president of the society until his tragic death in February 16, 2009
because of a car accident. In Memoriam
2009-2017 the president of the society was Prof. D. Melkonyan, who was granted an Honorary
member of the society after his term of presidency. In January 2017, along with
the new council of the society Dr. A. Varosyan was
elected the president of the society.
