In 2003 in the frame of Japanese Government Grant the Hospital received modern equipment (digital analyzers, a latest sonograph, patients monitoring systems, a mechanical ventilation system, ultrasound nebulizers, an endovision system for endoscopic procedures and operations etc.), which significantly increased diagnostic and therapeutic capacity of the Hospital. During 2005-2008 in the frame of Armenian Healthcare System Reform project supported by World Bank reconstruction, acquiring additional medical equipment, management improvement and medical services quality enhancement have been made.

Thus, in 2004 Mr. Agop Giritelean, the businessman from Constantinople (Turkey), sponsored the complete reconstruction of 30-beds General Pediatrics Department.
