Today, at the Ajapniak community of Yerevan, President Serzh Sargsyan
participated at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Armenian Cancer
Center of Excellence which will be situated next to the A. Alikhanian
National Scientific Laboratory.
The program of the creation of the Center will be implemented through
the state-private sector cooperation. Taking into consideration the
fact that malignant tumor diseases and related mortality is growing
annually all over the world and fight against cancer is a serious
medical, biological as well as social and economic problem for any
country in the world, Armenia's National Fund for Competitiveness
together with the RA Ministries of Economy and Health developed a
long-term program for the construction of the Armenian Cancer Center
of Excellence.
During the visit to the construction site, President Serzh Sargsyan
was informed that the Armenian Cancer Center of Excellence will be
providing radioisotope, radionuclide, radiology and lab diagnosis,
radioisotope and radiotherapy, oncological inpatient and outpatient
surgical services and high class services in the chemotherapy
treatment.
The Center's priority will be to satisfy demand for the diagnosis
and treatment in Armenia of the cancer diseases in line with the
international standards, creating the infrastructure which will allow
to turn the institution into a regional medical center. The program
is to be implemented in three stages: a short-term, a mid-term (up
to 3 years) and a long-term (up to 5 years). During the short-term
phase, it is envisaged to establish the production of radioisotopes, a
laboratory for nuclear pharmacology, as well as a ultramodern molecular
and radio diagnosis center. During the mid-term phase created will be
the laboratory for the outpatient diagnosis, radio and chemotherapy
and non-surgical services, and during the long-term phase there will be
constructed the inpatient surgical center for up to 200 beds where the
patients will be able to continue their chemo and radiotherapy. It is
planned that later the treatment will also include the protonotherapy.
The Armenian Cancer Center of Excellence will provide ultramodern
and precise diagnosis of cancer as well as various services related
to the treatment and monitoring. At the same time, the Center will
become an establishment for scientific research, professional training,
innovations, and business. It will be based on Armenia's traditional
capabilities in the area of nuclear physics, contributing also to
the training and retraining of the new generation of medical and
technical personnel.
After the groundbreaking ceremony for the ultramodern medical center
in Ajapniak, President Serzh Sargsyan in the same administrative
community participated at the opening of over 1.7 hectare large
newly created park located next to the intersection of Halabian and
Margarian streets. The President walked down the areas of general
use, observed the completed construction and beautification works,
conditions on the sporting arena and other facilities created in the
park, conversed with the citizens spending their leisure time here.
The leisure area has been created in accordance with the 2012 community
development program of the Yerevan City Hall which put into use the
pool which was inoperative for years and developed the adjacent once
neglected area.
