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.

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.
