Coming Home to Heal: Anna’s Medical Journey from Syunik to the World
AWWA Podcast: Armenian Voices by Armenian Women’s Welfare Association
Episode notes
Born in Vanadzor and shaped by years spent in Goris, Yerevan, and Syunik, Anna’s path in medicine is deeply connected to place, purpose, and service. A graduate of Yerevan State Medical University, she has chosen to return to the region where she spent her childhood—working on the front lines of care in Syunik.
In this episode, Anna reflects on her commitment to healing at home while training globally, from medical missions with AMAA to advanced studies in heart failure based in London and plans to continue her career in Germany. Her story is one of returning, giving back, and carrying Armenia with her wherever medicine leads.
