HAYASTAN ALL-ARMENIAN FUND CONSTRUCTING MEDICAL CENTER IN KHACHARDZAN
13:36, October 4, 2013
With financial support from its Argentinean affiliate (benefactor –
Kalciyan family), the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is building a medical
center in Khachardzan, a village in Armenia’s Tavush Region. The
facility will also include a multifunctional events hall for use by
various community organizations.
Currently construction crews are working on the interior and exterior
trimming as well as landscaping of the structure, which is slated to
open by the end of 2013.
This is a vitally important project for our village,” said Khachardzan
mayor Gagik Shahnazaryan. “Thanks to the initiative, our residents
will be able to receive quality healthcare at a state-of-the-art
clinic, only in acute emergency cases having to be transported to a
regional hospital.”
Commenting on the issues that continue to impact Khachardzan’s
quality of life, Shahnazaryan said the most urgent is the lack of a
potable-water network – a problem the community has had to contend
with since the 1990s.
A large proportion of Khachardzan’s 400 residents are refugees. The
community’s main occupation is cattle breeding. Khachardzan (which
means “cross statue”) is named after the numerous historic cross
stones found throughout the village.
