Message Understanding health care in the south Caucasus: examples from Armenia BMJ 2004;329:562-565 (4 September), doi:10.1136/bmj.329.7465.562 Tido von Schoen-Angerer* Health care in the south Caucasus has suffered as a result of the socioeconomic decline that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the ensuing—still unresolved—conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Kharabakh and between Georgia and its breakaway republics Abkhazia and South Ossetia. As in most parts of the former Soviet Union, these places have increasing cardiovascular mortality, a high burden of mental illness, and spreading infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV. (1,2) However, the widespread underreporting in dysfunctional and collapsing health systems leaves considerable uncertainty about actual figures.
