    Hayastan All Armenian Fund Completes Renovation of Hadrut Regional Hospital
    and Construction of Togh-Hadrut Gas Pipeline in Nagorno Karabakh

    Yerevan, December 24, 2008 - Hayastan All Armenian Fund is pleased to
    announce the completion of two crucially important projects in Hadrut
    region: renovation and furnishing of the regional hospital and construction
    of the Togh-Hadrut gas pipeline.
    Built in 1982, Hadrut regional hospital was in poor condition and did not
    meet the requirements of the modern healthcare industry. It was essential to
    get the hospital better serve the medical needs of the region of around
    12,000. The overall project included renovation of the walls and roof,
    floors and ceiling; doors and windows were replaced making wards in the
    hospital brighter and comfortable to stay in. Water and electricity supply
    networks, as well as heating and sewage systems were renovated too.
    To avoid possible spreading of contagious diseases, a separate entrance was
    constructed for the infectious diseases' unit. To make medical care more
    diversified and service-oriented, the Fund donated to the hospital four
    brand new emergency vehicles equipped with adequate medical facilities. One
    of the vehicles was provided to the medical post of Togh village located
    about 20 km from the hospital.
    On behalf of the hospital management and residents of Hadrut region Araik
    Yeremyan, head of the hospital, thanked the Fund for the important
    initiative and good quality work. He said he believes that patients will
    feel safe comfortable and in the newly renovated hospital, which in its
    turn, will make things easier for the medical staff. According to Mr.
    Yeremyan, there is a great need for qualified specialists. This problem is
    partially solved by conducting training courses at the hospital. Ministry of
    Health of Nagorno Karabakh encourages initiatives on trainings and conducts
    open-door days on which patients undergo free medical check-ups.
    The 22 km long Togh-Hadrut gas pipeline will soon be commissioned too. The
    newly built hospital, as well as the nearby 7 villages with around 5200
    residents, will be supplied with long-awaited gas. The project, with the
    total cost of AMD 444 million, was undertaken within the Artsakh Rebirth
    project.
    According to the Fund's deputy director, responsible for construction works,
    Mr. Ararat Khlghatyan, the pipeline construction was going on in challenging
    landscape conditions. The working staff overcame all the obstacles though,
    and currently, the pipe is being tested for safety.
    "When the Fund launches a project, it consistently implements other projects
    in the same community as well - be it a hospital reconstruction, school or
    water main construction. By this, the Fund aims to contribute to the overall
    development of the community. This is the policy the Hayastan All Armenian
    Fund pursues", says the acting executive director of the Fund Mr. Ara
    Vardanyan.
