    Hayastan All Armenian Fund has completed 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.
