The construction of the Armenian Center of Excellence in Oncology
consisting of a radioisotopes production center, a diagnostic center
and an oncology clinic started in Yerevan in October 2012. Armenian
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited the construction site today.
The construction works are expected to be completed by November
of the current year. The project forms part of a greater vision
of turning Armenia into a regional center for providing modern and
state-of-the-art medical services outlined in the Action Plan of the
Government of Armenia.
The long-term vision involves the expansion of the project to a
'cancer care cluster' and, later to a 'cancer care city.'
Initially, a core ACEO will be established, comprising an oncology
clinic with one or several PET scanners and a cyclotron. The goal is
to set new domestic standards for excellence in oncology diagnosis
and treatment. ACEO will be embedded in the healthcare infrastructure
with local hospitals and physicians referring patients (estimate:
about 4,000 patients a year).
In a second step, capitalizing on further business opportunities, ACEO
will evolve into a cancer care cluster, adding specialized oncology
services, for example, cancer surgery and children's cancer care.
Finally, ACEO will develop into an internationally renowned cancer
care city offering ever-more sophisticated oncology services, such
as positron therapy or centers for personalized medicine. ACEO will
become a prime location for patients from around the world seeking
top-notch oncology diagnostics and treatment.
The total cost of the program is about $50 mln. ACEO will
be implemented as a public-private partnership (PPP). The basic
structure foreseen for the PPP provides for active private management
of an entrepreneurial business model and, at the interface with the
Government and full representation of the private investors.
