The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has begun construction of a cardiology
center in Armenia's Syunik Region. The facility, to be built in
Akner, a community adjoining the City of Goris, will be affiliated
with Yerevan's Center of Cardiology. The new hospital will be the
only one of its kind serving southern Armenia and Artsakh, Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund reports.
The construction of the two-story cardiology center started in May
and currently its foundations are being laid.
When completed, the hospital will have a main ward with 16 beds and
a polyclinic capable of accommodating 20 ambulatory patients per
day. In addition, the grounds surrounding the future hospital will
undergo extensive landscaping, including the planting of trees.
The project, with an initial cost estimate of approximately
U.S. $820,000, is financed by the fund's French affiliate;
the French-Armenian Doctors' Association (Association de Sante
Franco-Armenienne), based in Marseille; and the department of
Bouches-du-Rhône, a major administrative area in the south of
France. A considerable portion of the amount was bequeathed to the
fund by French-Armenian benefactor Krikor Shahinian.
