The World Health Organization has granted the Arabkir Medical Complex-Institute for Child and Adolescent Health the status of “WHO Collaborating Centre” in the field of child and adolescent health.

As Siddhartha Datta, the representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Armenia, noted during the awarding ceremony, the institutions of 8 countries of the European region (Great Britain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Norway, Russia) are ranked 9th with Arabkir BH-ICAH. Datta emphasized that not only the medical complex, but the whole Armenia should be congratulated with this achievement.

After receiving the document certifying the status of WHO collaborating center, professor Ara Babloyan, Scientific Director of Arabkir MC-ICAH, expressed his gratitude, saying: “We are glad that we can not only take knowledge and experience from the world's leading health organizations, but also transfer it to other countries. This is the formula for human progress”.
