Some 150 medical workers of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry were wounded during the 44-day Patriotic War, Colonel Elkhan Ibrahimov, deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Medical Service of the Defense Ministry, told reporters on Thursday.

He noted that some 42 medical workers of the ministry, including nine doctors, were killed during the war.

"From the first days of the war, treatment and medical assistance to our wounded are under the control of Supreme Commander, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva,” Ibrahimov added. “The instructions were made to open rehabilitation centers to treat the wounded."
