GYUMRI TO HOST UNIQUE BLOOD BANK

GYUMRI, MARCH 17, ARMENPRESS: The administrative center of
Armenia’s northern province of Shirak, Gyumri, is set to host a
unique blood bank in the country. An agreement to that effect was
signed last year by the World Blood Bank and the provincial
authorities. The blood bank will be created on the basis of the local
blood transfusion station.
The blood bank will be housed at a local clinic that has granted
part of its premises. Repair works are expected to begin in April.
According to local authorities, all equipment the bank needs has
already arrived. The personnel of the blood bank will have an
extensive training course in a foreign country.
