"Astghik" medical center, being the successor of "Malatia" hospital, despite its respectable age of half a century, today it presents itself in a new way and tries to keep pace with the times. Currently, "Malatia" hospital presents itself as a modern, multi-disciplinary, medical center that meets European standards, with the new name "Astghik". In 2010, "Natalie Farm" LLC acquired the "Malatia" hospital in a rather poor condition, a hospital where about 400 people worked. The management of the center was faced with the ultimate task of creating a modern, multi-disciplinary medical center, while not interrupting the work of the center and preserving the existing jobs. The existing services of the hospital were concentrated in the three-story building of the former maternity hospital, which was renovated and equipped with the necessary equipment. In 2012, construction of the "Astghik" medical center began according to the project of German architects, an investment of around 30 million euros was made, the center was equipped with modern powerful equipment, many of which are unique not only in the republic, but also in the entire region. Instead of the previous 5 departments, the medical center now has 30 departments and more than 1200 workplaces.
"Astghik" medical center is an exclusive center built according to world standards, and this applies to everything: ventilation, own oxygen system, decoration of operating rooms, equipment, lights, security system, nurse call system. The hospital has a central oxygen supply system. The center has 15 operating theaters, each of which has a separate ventilation system, the air entering the operating theater is cleaned by its own air purifiers, ensuring 95.5 percent disinfection.
"Astghik" medical center is distinguished by its professional medical staff, which actively cooperates with the leading clinics of the Russian Federation, Europe and the USA, where the center's specialists are regularly trained. The center also actively cooperates with the medical centers of RA marzes, not only organizing on-site charitable visits, but also conducting seminars, conferences and exchange of experience with local specialists. However, the price policy of the center has not changed and the cost of services in the center remains the same, that is, lower than the average. "Astghik" medical center is a new word in the healthcare system of Armenia and aspires to become the best. As the director of the center Asatur Asatryan notes, "Astghik" is a high benchmark for the healthcare sector of RA.
