    Armenia Fund Brazil Sponsors Latest Reconstruction Project

    The Brazilian affiliate of Armenia 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 Armenia Fund Brazil
    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, the 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 wellbeing,' said Dr. Ara Asoyan, the
    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 Asoyan, close to 7,200 patients (including 2,350
    outpatients) have received care at the hospital's renovated
    departments in 2009 alone.
