YEREVAN, DECEMBER 20, ARMENPRESS: President Kocharian attended today
inauguration of Nairi medical center that was privatized two years ago
and whose new owners say they have invested $3 million to renovate
the building constructed in 1967 and furnish it with state-of-the
art equipment.
Talking to reporters after strolling around the center, the president
praised the new owners for honoring all assumed commitments and
bringing the center in conformity with international standards.
Kocharian said the Nairi center case may serve as a best example of
how medical institutions should be privatized.
The center’s owners pledge another $ million investments in two
years. The center will have to render services also as part of a
government program of free medical services and has capacities to
service up to 5,000 people a year, but prices of some services will
be higher than in other clinics. The equipment was brought from
German Siemens.
