ARS Akhuryan " Mother and Child" Health and Birthing Center

 

The ARS “Mother and Child” Health Clinic was established in 1997. In 2005, the Clinic was enlarged to meet the demands of the community at large for safe and healthy births. Thus, the facility currently houses a birthing center and a medical clinic. The Medical Center serves the Akhourian regional community which has a population of around 40,000. The Center registers more than 1,200 births annually. The ARS provides financial support to ensure healthy births and cover day-to-day operations at the Center. The “Sponsor a Birth” program initiated by the ARS allows for the public at large to be a part of healthy births and give additional support to families.

The Center is equipped with technical facilities, such as Ultrasound and X-ray equipment, which provide diagnostic services. Moreover, the medical staff provides pediatric, obstetric, and gynecological services. Expectant mothers are educated about parenthood, healthy living, and personal hygiene.

By the decision of the Republic of Armenia Health Ministry, on April 10, 2014, in appreciation of high-quality services, the “Mother & Child” Health and Birthing Center was granted the “Title of 2nd Highest Degree” in the Medical Assistance field.
