According to the assessment of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Armenia, thanks to the Radiotherapy Center, basic services for the treatment of neoplasms are becoming available in Armenia.
"This is the result of cooperation between the state and private sector, as our policy is to develop standards, introduce new services, and procure these services for citizens through state orders. Furthermore, I note that the process of implementing insurance has encouraged the private sector to invest and provide modern services. Only through good cooperation between these two partners can we achieve positive results," said Avаnesyan, adding that the newly opened medical facility will actively collaborate with the National Institute after Fanarjyan, as the procurement of necessary isotopes is also carried out through the state institution.

Highly qualified specialists have international experience and have undergone many trainings. Most of them are invited from abroad.
After the opening ceremony, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the attendees toured the center, getting acquainted with the created conditions and equipment capabilities.
