    ISOLATION HOSPITAL REOPENED

    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    29 Oct 04

    This medical institution built in 1996 was aimed to serve as a
    department of the children's isolation hospital. However, taking into
    account thenecessity of more compact activity in struggle against
    infectious diseases, the government decided on reforming the building
    into republic isolation hospital.

    Nevertheless, the hospital could not provide complete medical service
    because of the conditions of the building and lack of equipment. Owing
    to the direct participation of the president of NKR Arkady Ghukassian,
    certain benefactors agreed to provide means for repairing the building
    and buying equipment. The program was implemented owing to the
    assistance of American benefactors Caroline and George Manougian and
    Albert Ara Manougian and his friends. At the opening ceremony NKR
    president Arkady Ghukassian donated furniture and medical equipment to
    the hospital. At the end of the ceremony the president spoke about the
    problems of the health sector. - We face a lot of problems in the
    health sector and whatever we do is not enough. You know that
    presently the town polyclinic is being built, serious works have been
    done in the direction of building the new republic hospital, recently
    the women's clinic was opened and now the isolation hospital. I think
    that in this sphere we were so much behind that we need very fast
    rates to fill the gaps caused by the war. We must do everything so
    that the people of Karabakh do not have to leave for Armenia or Russia
    for medical treatment. Therefore we must provide all the necessary
    conditions to provide professional medical care here. Unfortunately,
    there are cases when a person has to make additional payments for
    treatment. This is also a problem, and in a short period of time we
    must do our best to relieve the burden of the people who go to
    hospital. Here there are serious problems with the responsibilityof
    the health ministry and medical establishments and personnel. The
    president also emphasized an important fact: for the repairs of this
    hospital part ofthe expenses was covered by local businessman Samvel
    Hakobian. Evaluating this step as a positive tendency, the president
    of NKR is hopeful that this benevolent action of the local businessman
    will be an example for the others. Besides, for the first time the
    local benefactor joins to the material aid from the Diaspora which
    gives more confidence to Armenians of the Diaspora in their benevolent
    undertakings.
