History

In 1938, the Clinical Maternity Hospital No.3 of Yerevan was established. The current building has been operational since 1964. In 2001, the maternity hospital was transformed into the Shengavit Medical Center with a share belonging to the Yerevan municipality. In 2002, the ownership of the hospital became the property of the staff and it was reorganized into a multi-disciplinary clinical-diagnostic institution.Shengavit Medical Center: History
