Brazilian affiliate of Hayastan All-Armenian Fund sponsors latest
reconstruction project at Nork-Marash Hospital
Yerevan, March 10, 2010 – The Brazilian affiliate of the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund continues to support major renovations at Yerevan’s
Nork-Marash Infectious Diseases Hospital. The latest project benefiting the
facility, the sixth such initiative sponsored by the Brazilian affiliate,
will result in the reconstruction of the hospital’s Pediatric and Adolescent
Infections departments.
Currently under way, the project was announced by Brazilian-affiliate
chairman Ochin Leon Mosditchian in October 2009, during his working visit to
Yerevan with a Brazilian-Armenian delegation.
"This is not the first time when a benefactor finances several additional
projects following the realization of an initial undertaking," said Ara
Vardanyan, executive director of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, commenting
on the Brazilian-Armenian community’s consistent support of Nork-Marash
Hospital.
"Commitment of this level ensures that issues faced by a given beneficiary
are solved in a comprehensive manner," Vardanyan added. "The continued
support of sponsors such as the Armenian-Brazilian community is a testament
to the effectiveness of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund as well as the
confidence it inspires among donors."
Since 2005, the fund has implemented a string of extensive projects at
Nork-Marash Hospital. They include the reconstruction of the Intensive Care
Unit, Intestinal Infections Department, and Infectious Diseases Department,
the installation of a new roof on one of the hospital’s two main wings, the
installation of a heating system, and the construction of a boiler room.
"Without a doubt, these major renovations and upgrades have significantly
improved the general quality of our medical services as well as our
patients’ sense of well-being," said Dr. Ara Asoyan, chief physician at
Nork-Marash Hospital. "Today our vastly enhanced facility enables us to
provide top-notch care and makes us far better prepared to deal with
epidemics."
According to Dr. Asoyan, close to 7,200 patients (including 2,350
outpatients) have received care at the hospital’s renovated departments
during 2009.
