MEGHRI, February 8. /ARKA/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan attended Saturday the opening of a medical center in Meghri, Syunik province.
Lusine Vardanyan, the director of the medical center, told journalists that this medical center is strategically important and it will become a big gift for 12,000 residents of Meghri and Agarak.
“We worked before in a house built in the 1970s or 1980s, which didn’t meet modern standards,” she said.
Vardanyan said that the province is in want of new specialists and this is a major problem.
“Now 21 doctors work in the medical center, but we are especially in need of sub-specialized doctors,” she said. “It is very difficult to attract them here.”
Vardanyan expressed hope that the health ministry will take necessary steps to put things right.
As much as AMD 1.62 billion has been invested in the medical center, and the construction has been carried out under the World Bank’s loan programs. --0----
