The construction of the new hospital in Armenia’s Gyumri city is approaching its end, Health Minister Harutyun Kushkyan said Friday, while touring the construction site, within the framework of his working visit to Gyumri.  

The hospital is planned to start operations this April, but the weather conditions are hampering construction to a great extent.

The 200-bed capacity hospital will incorporate Gyumri’s three other hospitals, and it is being constructed on the basis of the credit program signed between the Government of Armenia and the World Bank.
