ISOLATION HOSPITAL WAS REPAIRED

Social

About fifty-year-old isolation hospital of Nork-Marash was fully repaired this year with the financial assistance of the Armenian community representatives of San Paulo, Brazil, and “Armenia” fund.

Over 54 million AMD was spent on the repairs of intestine infection and reanimation departments of the hospital.

Naira Melqoumyan, head of the fund, says that they offered the Armenian community of Brazil to support the construction work of the first floor but they expressed their readiness to repair the whole building.

Ashot Eghazaryan, RA envoy to San Paulo, Oshin Mostichyan, head of the local body of “Armenia” fund, and a number of sponsors were among the 20-member delegation of the Brazilian Armenians. One of them said that they wanted the name of the Armenian community of Brazil to be mentioned on the memorial plaque on purpose. “We took into account the fact that Brazil is a large country and there are Armenians in all cities. But their number is comparatively larger in San Paulo and the residents of this city are willing to help Armenia,” stated the speaker.

Archbishop Tatev Gharibyan, head of the Armenian church in Brazil, blessed the opening ceremony. “Let all children come and be cured in this hospital,” ended Tatev Gharibyan her speech.

Ara Asoyan, head of the hospital, added that the hospital is financed by the state budget and they could hardly carry out the repairing without their assistance.
