/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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 underway, 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. "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.
