Hayastan All-Armenian Fund completes renovation of
Nephrology and Dialysis departments at Yerevan's St. Gregory Hospital
The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund recently completed an extensive renovation of
the Nephrology and Dialysis departments of Yerevan's St. Gregory the
Illuminator (Surb Grigor Lusavorich) Hospital. The refurbishment was made
possible by the fund's Toronto affiliate (with sponsorship of a
Toronto-based benefactor), within the framework of 2011 projects implemented
through sponsor-specified grants.
The renovated premises, encompassing a total area of 1,120 square meters,
include eight patient rooms, a cafeteria, two offices, and all restrooms. In
addition, the power and water systems have been replaced and a
central-heating system was installed. Both upgraded departments have been
fully operational since mid-December.
Dr. Razmik Pandunts, who heads the Nephrology and Dialysis departments, had
high praise for the quality of the upgrades as he conveyed his gratitude to
the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. "Without a doubt, our staff has been
delighted to work in such beautifully renovated facilities," Dr. Pandunts
said. "This new environment is also having a visibly positive effect on our
patients."
The Nephrology and Dialysis departments employ a staff of 36, including six
doctors and 30 nurses. Today some 55 patients receive treatment at the two
wings, which together have the capacity to serve up to 80 patients at a
time.
The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is currently carrying out two other projects
sponsored by its Toronto affiliate: the complete renovation of the third and
fourth floors of the Nork Retirement Home, in Yerevan; and the refurbishment
of the Education and Cultural Centre of Shushi, Artsakh.
Commenting on the completion of the St. Gregory Hospital project and other
initiatives sponsored by the Toronto affiliate, Mkrtich Mkrtichian, its
chairman, said, "We are extremely gratified by the fact that the Armenian
community of Toronto is doing its utmost to be of assistance to our sisters
and brothers in the homeland."
