After the capital the computer tomographic equipment has for the first
time been installed in Gyumri. It gives the possibility to reveal
the tumors early. If many people had to come to Yerevan because of
the absence of the equipment, now there will be no such problems.

The computer tomographic equipment brought to Gyumri in 2004 October
by the support of the French regional council was put into practice in
March 15 this year by the French specialists. The diagnostic center,
however, had been opened only recently.

6000 people a year will have the possibility to be investigated in
the center. By now 60 citizens have passed free investigation. An
operation has also been carried out connected with spine illnesses. The
possibilities of the center are high but the technical problems do
not give the possibility to serve many people.

The specialists find that in case of solving the technical problems
the equipment will notably improve the health service in the region.
