Minister: New building of Nork-Marash medical center to be built in  Yerevan

ArmInfo. In the near future, a new building of the Nork-Marash Medical Center will be built in Yerevan, Minister of Healthcare Arsen Torosyan announced yesterday  during the visit to the center.

As the press service of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of  Armenia reports, Arsen Torosyan noted that the Nork-Marash Medical  Center is considered the cradle of cardiology in Armenia. Emergency,  outpatient, inpatient and dispensary medical care is provided to  children and adults. The center has a clinic of arrhythmology, which  includes the entire list of high-tech services, including outpatient  and inpatient.  The medical center actively cooperates with foreign  specialists specializing in cardiovascular diseases, who perform  about 30 operations during each visit to Armenia.

According to Arsen Torosyan, the only problem is the patient capacity  of the center, which so far remains at an insufficient level.  Patients come, and there is not enough room for service. "We were  informed that this year the municipality allocated an additional 70  million drams from the city budget for renovating and expanding  service places," the minister said, adding that it is planned to  build a new building in the future so that the center can accept more  patients.

It should be noted that in early 2019, the Ministry of Healthcare  signed an agreement with the Nork-Marash Medical Center, placing in  it a state order worth 941 million drams, which was subsequently  increased by about 800 million drams. The contract for servicing the  state order concluded between the Ministry of Health and the center  for 2019 currently stands at 1.74 billion drams.
