Hayastan All-Armenian Fund begins reconstruction of Noyemberyan Hospital
Yerevan, August 14 2009 – In July of this year the Hayastan All-Armenian
Fund launched a major development project to rebuild the Noyemberyan
Hospital, in Armenia’s Tavush Region. The initiative is co-sponsored by the
fund’s German, Australian, Swiss, and Lebanese affiliates. Additional
support, in the form of medical equipment, will be provided by the Union of
Armenian Physicians and Healthcare Professionals of Germany.
Currently crews are working on the first phase of the reconstruction
project, demolishing the existing building and laying the foundations of the
future structure, which will comprise an area of 2,600 meters square. Slated
to be completed in the fall of 2010, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s
ambitious initiative will result in an outstanding, state-of-the-art
healthcare facility offering a broad range of medical services.
"I think it’s wonderful that our compatriots in the diaspora continue to
make a concerted and decisive effort in helping secure the ongoing progress
of our homeland, which hinges to a great degree on the physical health of
the Armenian public," said Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund. "The reconstruction of the Noyemberyan Hospital is an
important step toward that goal."
Commenting on the project, Henrik Harutyunyan, chief physician at the
Noyemberyan Hospital, said that the facility serves some 1,400 individuals
per year, admitting patients from not only throughout Tavush but the
neighboring Lori Region as well. Dr. Harutyunyan added that the Noyemberyan
Hospital has long been in a state of disrepair and the need for major
renovations had reached a critical stage. "Thanks to the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund project, we expect to have a first-class facility," he
said.
