/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is rebuilding the
Noyemberyan Regional Hospital, in Armenia’s Tavush Region. Although
the hospital is in a deplorable condition, it continues to admit
patients throughout Tavush and the neighboring Lori region – some
1400 people annually.

The hospital is about 185km from Yerevan and some 5km from the
Azerbaijani border. To keep the hospital, and namely, the emergency,
delivery and surgery wards working, renovation works are carried out
in one half of the building, to start with.

The initiative is co-sponsored by the fund’s German, Swiss, Australian,
and Lebanese affiliates. Additional in-kind support, in the form of
medical equipment, will be provided by the Union of Armenian Physicians
and Healthcare Professionals of Germany.

Proceeds from the concert held in Germany, Cologne, as well part of
the funds raised in the result of the Phoneathon 2009 are directed
towards the reconstruction of this hospital, which is of strategic
importance to the region.
