The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has begun construction of a cardiology
center in the Akner community, which is situated near the city
of Goris. The hospital will be affiliated with Yerevan’s Center of
Cardiology. The new hospital will be the only one of its kind serving
southern Armenia and Artsakh.
The program (initial cost 820 000 dollars) will be financed by the
fund’s French affiliate; the French-Armenian Doctors’ Association,
situated in Marseille and the Bouches-du-Rhône region of France. A
considerable portion of the sum was bequeathed to the fund by the
Armenian benefactor from France Grigor Shahinyan.
The construction of the two-story hospital was launched in May and
currently its foundations are being laid. The cardiology hospital will
have a main ward, a polyclinic, which will accommodate 20 ambulatory
patients per day. The area surrounding the hospital will undergo
landscaping and greening; the Hayastan All Armenian Fund reports.
