Mehriban Aliyeva's tireless activities won deep respect and love of Azerbaijani people
With regard to public health, exceptional projects and charity programmes being implemented on Aliyeva's initiative such as caring for diabetic children, those affected by thalassemia and renovation and construction of medical facilities have been met with great enthusiasm. Under these projects, a modern thalassemia centre, rehabilitation centre for people with Down syndrome and those with special needs, a surgery and organ transplantation centre at the Central Oil Workers' Hospital, a children's psycho-neurological centre and other healthcare facilities have been built or refurbished. It is noteworthy that this activity is not limited to Baku but spread across all the regions of Azerbaijan.
Aliyeva has been playing an important role in the fight against the pandemic of 2020, Covid-19. She personally oversaw the treatment of those infected with the virus. With the support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and Aliyeva, modular hospitals were built for patients with coronavirus and numerous medical supplies were delivered from foreign countries for treatment.
On Aliyeva's initiative, consistent and focused work is under way to communicate the truth about the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the culture, history and traditions of statehood to the international community. Exhibitions, days of culture and other events are being organised in reputable international organisations and various countries around the world.
Events celebrating Azerbaijani culture have been held at the headquarters of the European Parliament, Athens, and Cannes. Other activities include the opening of the Centre of Azerbaijani Culture in Paris and the erection of monuments dedicated to outstanding Azerbaijani personalities in various cities across the world.
The international Eurovision song contest, the inaugural European Games, the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games and 37th FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championship were successfully held in Azerbaijan in recent years. These events have revealed Aliyeva's exceptional organisational skills.
