YEREVAN. – Armenia’s Minister of Health, Derenik Dumanyan, received a
delegation, led by Rector Renato Lauro of Tor Vergata University of
Rome, which is in the country on a charitable mission.
`I am happy that you are in Armenia on the extremely important mission
of creating a children’s hospital [in Armenia],’ Dumanyan noted.
In his turn, Lauro informed that their aforementioned project was born
as a result of their talks with Ruben Karapetyan, Armenia’s former
Ambassador to Italy.
Tor Vergata University of Rome, which has 40,000 students, has built
children’s hospitals in Albania and in Congo. The aforesaid
delegation’s Italian Government member informed that this time Armenia
was chosen for such project by considering the friendship between the
two countries, the fact that Armenia is the cradle of Christianity,
and because the Armenians have given a lot to Europe, specifically to
Italy.
In addition, the Italian delegation expressed willingness to
collaborate in bone marrow transplantation and in pharmacy.
`The [children’s] hospital shall not compete with your other clinics.
But we will assist that center, and it will have a positive impact on
the progress of pediatrics; your country has considerable foundations
in this direction,’ the Tor Vergata University rector stated.
In his turn, Armenia’s health minister extended his thanks to the
Government and the people of Italy for such assistance.
