The New Stage of Renovation of the Nork Hospital for Infectious Diseases
Launched
The reconstruction of the second block of the Nork Hospital for Infectious
Diseases is underway. Before the end of the year the second and third floors
and the roof of the building will be renovated, a boiler house will be
constructed and heating system will be installed. The second block of the
Nork hospital with its laboratories and five units attend as many as 3000
patients a year. The project has been sponsored by the Hayastan All-Armenian
Fund Brazil affiliate.
The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is committed to renovating the Nork Hospital
for Infectious Diseases starting from 2004. Since then, the first block of
the hospital has been refurbished, its roof renovated and a heating system
was installed.
In March, 2007 the boiler house of the hospital’s first block was officially
opened; its construction was co-funded by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund
Brazil affiliate, United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and the Brazil
Ambassador to Armenia.
The Nork Hospital Director, Chief Specialist for infectious diseases Ara
Asoyan said, `Thanks to the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund on-going support, the
hospital established in 1956 will be able to provide services in best
compliance with modern standards. This is essential since the Nork hospital
is the only hospital in the Republic dealing with infectious diseases. The
hospital attends as many as 5000 patients a year’.
