When a Hospital Needs "Emergency Care"
02.20.2015
The hospital in the town of Etchmiadzin was built in 1972 and hasn't
undergone major renovations since. Much of the medical equipment is
decades old. The hospital serves the town of Etchmiadzin and
surrounding villages - an overall population of some 120,000. The
authorities have always claimed there is no money to modernize the
hospital. Estimates place the cost of renovating the hospital at 800 -
900 million AMD (US$1.8 million). Despite these conditions, patients
say the staff is attentive and professional. No wonder the hospital
has survived this long.
