    Medical Supply Stepanakert Policlinic Delivered

    Yerevan, February 21, 2008 - The Armenia Fund small and large-scale project
    developments follow one another at a quick pace. This is to inform of the
    latest medical supply - equipment, office and hygiene items - delivery to
    the Stepanakert Clinic (Nagorno Karabakh) by the Armenia Fund working group
    in mid February.

    The supply worth $464.779, packed in 920 boxes, was passed over to the
    Stepanakert Policlinic through the Ministry of Health of Nagorno Karabakh.
    The initiative was solely sponsored by Project C.U.R.E through the Armenia
    Fund USA Eastern Affiliate.
    As a consequence of the Artsakh conflict, the country was devastated, and
    there was a pressing need for an up-to-date healthcare institution. Through
    its East Coast Affiliate the Armenia Fund launched on construction of the
    Stepanakert Policlinic. In March 2006, a modern building, equipped with a
    diagnostic center and necessary facilities was in place. To ensure adequate
    medical service, the Fund also held in-service medical staff and
    administrative personnel trainings.
    "The necessary maintenance work in the policlinic is limited to replacing
    the door handles and broken glasses," the newly appointed Executive Director
    Karine Atayan told the Fund working group visiting the policlinic within the
    Project Condition Survey of the Armenia Fund projects for 2002-2007. The
    visit coincided with the bothersome time of lack of running water from the
    water network, but that had not affected the hygiene and sanitary conditions
    of the clinic; the management made sure that the policlinic water tanks were
    regularly stocked up with water necessary to take care of the policlinic's
    needs.
    According to Ms. Atayan, as of December 2007, 83,815 people underwent
    general therapeutic treatment, 24,228 were screened and examined and 26,492
    had laboratory tests.
    "I believe good conditions in a medical institution are vital to the
    recovery of patients. It is more important though, that the Karabakh
    residents feel confident about the healthcare service in their country. This
    is the reason for which the Fund also embarked on the full renovation of the
    Hadrut Regional Hospital which is to completed in mid 2008," says Vahe
    Aghabegians, the executive director of the Armenia Fund.
