Hayastan All-Armenian Fund Renovates St.Virgin Medical Center Obstetrics
Department
Yerevan, April 21, 2009 – Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has launched
reconstruction of the obstetrics department of the Yerevan St.Virgin Medical
Center south-western branch: a new delivery facility will be built while the
three current ones will be renovated. The initiative is sponsored by the
Hayastan Fund Great Britain Affiliate.
"The Fund’s Great Britain local committee has been implementing a wide range
of health projects in various hospitals during the last couple of years. A
good example of this is the full renovation of the Artik hospital, as well
as several renovation projects carried out in Yerevan Kanaker-Zeitun
hospital," the Hayastan All Armenian Fund acting executive director Ara
Vardanyan pointed out.
Within the project, the department will undergo full renovation: the walls
and floors will be tiled, sewage, electricity and water supply systems will
be reconstructed, new doors and windows will be installed; each room will be
provided with a sanitation unit, as well as hot water and oxygen supply
centralized systems will be built.
The medical center, which dates back to 1992, is a three-storey building. It
serves about 1800 patients annually. According to the chief physician and
head of the hospital Nikolay Dallakyan, the community has seen a significant
increase in residents in the last few years, and the overall project
including construction of the fourth delivery facility is welcome news.
The Hayastan Fund had implemented two other projects in St.Virgin Medical
center: through the sponsorship of the benefactor Hakop Girtlian, the
general pediatric department of the hospital underwent renovation in 2003,
while the neurosurgery department, which serves the whole republic, was
restored in 2006.
