Implementation Status and Key Decisions
Progress towards achieving project objectives is on track and implementation of project activities is proceeding as planned. All activities are expected to be completed by the closing date of February 29, 2016. Specifically, Component A (Family Medicine Development): Civil works of ambulatories in all communities of Tavush (Navur, Bagratashen, Voskevan and Berdavan), Lori (Lernapat), Ararat (Qaxcrashen) and Armavir (Aknalich) marzes were completed in December 2014 and ambulatory in Voskevan community of Tavush marz was completed in May 2015. Ten renovated ambulances were provided to Marz health facilities in December 2014. Renovation of Metsamor MC Polyclinic was completed in January 2015, and medical equipment and furniture were provided in May 2015. Savings under the AF has made it possible to construct an additional 5 rural ambulatories in the communities of Ararat (Lanjazat and Mkhchian), Vayots Dzor (Shatin), Aragacotn (Byurakan) and Lori (Urut) marzes. Component B (Hospital Network Optimization and Modernization): Contracts for medical equipment and furniture for Berd MC and Kapan MC are ongoing. All civil works are expected to be completed before the Project closing date. The last MCs benefitting from the project where civil works are still ongoing are: Meghri regional center (64% completed), Kapan MC (82%), Berd MC (completed), and Chambarak MC (43%). Based on updated information from September 4th, 90% of works at Chambarak are completed, with all works expected to complete by the end of September.

Thus far only the Hrazdan MC Chief Doctor was trained for 1.5- 2 months on financial management in the last trimester of year 2013.
