The opening of Child Development and Rehabilitation Center in Ijevan
One of the major milestones of the project “A Healthy Start” was achieved on 11 April, 2009 - Child Development and Rehabilitation Center (CDRC) was opened in Ijevan, Tavush region. This is already the second center opening in Armenia, in the frames of the “A Healthy Start” project. The first one was opened in Armavir region in 2007 and successfully works and rehabilitates children. CDRC in Ijevan will give opportunity to the children to get rehabilitation and treatment without traveling to Yerevan. This is very important for the families of children with special needs, as such children mostly live in socially vulnerable families, who can not often afford themselves such journey to the capital.
A number of official guests were invited to the opening ceremony; among them were Deputy Prime minister, Minister of Health, Governor of Tavush region and other officials. The event was broadly covered by almost all national TV channels.
