    HAYASTAN ALL-ARMENIAN FUND BEGINS RECONSTRUCTION OF DELIVERY WARD AT ABOVIAN MATERNITY HOSPITAL

    The Maternity Hospital of Abovian, in Armenia's Kotayk Region, became
    the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's latest beneficiary this month, as the
    fund began to rebuild the facility's Delivery Ward. The initiative is
    sponsored by the fund's Canada (Montreal) affiliate, with financing
    by local benefactors Vrej and Imasdouhi Nigoghossian.

    With demolition work already completed, construction crews are
    currently building new partitions at the Delivery Ward. The other
    components of the project include the renovation and retiling of the
    floors as well as the replacement of all doors and windows.

    Commenting on the much-anticipated reconstruction, Dr. Larissa Madoyan,
    chief physician of the Maternity Hospital, said that the 25-year-old
    facility's grave disrepair has had an adverse effect on the quality of
    healthcare. "In terms of inspiring a sense of security and confidence
    among expectant mothers, the improved conditions of the ward will be
    of foremost importance," Dr. Madoyan explained. "In turn, a mother's
    well-being is crucial equally to her newborn and the medical staff
    caring for her." Dr. Madoyan added that already this year 193 babies
    were delivered at the hospital.

    In 2009 there were 1,422 births at the Delivery Ward. In addition,
    247 walk-in patients received care, 347 women underwent various
    surgical procedures, and 17,656 pregnant women were provided with
    medical consultation at the Maternity Hospital, which serves seven
    urban areas and close to 60 rural communities of Kotayk.

    "Every parent seeks to ensure the healthiest and most comfortable
    environment possible for their newborn child," said Ara Vardanyan,
    executive director of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. "With this
    in mind, the renovation and, in this case, reconstruction of our
    homeland's aging maternity wards is an area of high priority for
    the fund."

    "Perhaps the most heartwarming testament to the benefits of such
    projects is the marked increase of new births in a given community,"
    Vardanyan concluded.

    Apart from the Abovian Maternity Hospital initiative, the
    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is currently implementing several
    healthcare-development projects in Armenia. They include the
    construction of the Zangezur Cardiology Center in Goris and the
    reconstruction of the Noyemberian Hospital, the Delivery and Postnatal
    Department of the Maternity Ward at Surb Astvatsamayr Medical Center in
    Yerevan, and a wing of the Nork-Marash Medical Center, also in Yerevan.
