PanARMENIAN.Net - A modern cancer center will be founded in Yerevan
in the framework of cooperation between the Armenian National
Competitiveness Foundation and Belgian Global Medical Solution company.
A Memorandum of Understanding on implementation and management of
a regional oncology center was signed by Foundation chairman Arman
Khachaturyan and CEO of Belgian company Haig Bagerdjian.
"Today is an important day for us, marking the start of hope to bring
modern technologies to Armenia," Bagerdjian said.
"I believe the foundation will be laid in July, and the center will
be ready by end of this year," Khachaturyan added.
"This will be a regional center with standards meeting those of
similar international centers," he emphasized saying the first stage
of construction is estimated Euro 30 mln.
The new center will comprise three departments, a laboratory, a
diagnostic center equipped with positron emission tomography (PET)
scanner for early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and a clinic
where patients will undergo treatment with radioactive isotopes.
Global Medical Solution will undertake management of the center. The
Belgian company has extensive experience in this sphere, running
similar centers in Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand,
Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.
The program is implemented through cooperation between the public and
private sectors and aims to promote development of nuclear medicine
in Armenia, as well as enable the patients undergo treatment on the
spot instead of going abroad.
