With the support of Viva, the “Soldier’s Home” Rehabilitation Center has acquired a set of urological endoscopic instruments

Viva, remaining faithful to its policy of corporate social responsibility, has once again supported the “Soldier’s Home” Rehabilitation Center in acquiring modern urological endoscopic instruments.

On this occasion, Viva’s General Director Armen Avetisian visited the Rehabilitation Center, toured the medical center, got acquainted with the possibilities of using the instruments, and communicated with the medical staff and wounded soldiers.

“The “Soldier’s Home” plays a key role in the process of restoring the health and reintegration of soldiers, and at Viva we attach importance to the fact that our support is targeted and has a real impact on the quality of people’s lives. We are confident that the modern devices and tools provided will help our doctors perform their work more effectively, ensuring safe and high-quality treatment, and patients - fast and complete recovery,” said Viva General Director Armen Avetisian.

Endoscopic surgery is one of the most important directions of modern medicine today. Replacing open surgeries, this method provides minimal invasiveness and maximum efficiency, and for the patient - a shorter rehabilitation period and a low risk of postoperative complications.

“Our previous project with the support of Viva was a single building, the construction of which was financed by the leading operator and which now serves as a space for the implementation of a very important program: the “Room of Life” and the new cafeteria for our boys. And in general, Viva regularly lends a hand to the “Soldier’s Home” in implementing various programs. This time, the company supported us in acquiring the most important equipment, which our soldiers really needed. Urological surgeries are no less important for our boys than the rehabilitation treatment itself, since as a result of various injuries, people living a sedentary or immobile lifestyle often have many urological problems,” said Haykuhi Minasyan, director of the “Soldier’s Home.”

Thanks to the latest generation of urological endoscopic interventional equipment from “Olympus” (considered the highest in endoscopic surgery), the “Soldier's Home” will have the opportunity to increase the accuracy of diagnosis of patients, improve the quality of treatment and surgery for beneficiaries, significantly reducing postoperative hospital days and minimizing the risks of complications.

"The so-called difficult aspect of a sedentary or immobile life is not only immobility. If there is no proper lifestyle, regular rehabilitation treatment, and ensuring the correct movements of the human body with special equipment, many new health problems may arise related to internal organs. Of course, the “Soldier's Home” takes care and has all the equipment and professional team so that the health of the boys does not suffer due to immobility, because sometimes complications are inevitable. Urological problems are one of these complications. They greatly affect the quality of life. Today, Viva is supporting the “Soldier’s Home” to perform laparoscopic surgeries on site, right in our operating rooms. This type of intervention, first of all, significantly reduces the postoperative recovery period, is performed with minimal trauma, and from now on, surgeries will actually be performed in our operating rooms that are fully adapted for people with disabilities. The first intervention was performed today, the patient is a participant in a 44-day war,” Rector of YSMU Armen Muradyan said.

As part of the visit, Viva’s General Director toured the new building recently built with the Company’s support, where not only disabled soldiers, but also civilians receive social and household rehabilitation treatment. The second floor serves as a dining room and a hall for various events for the beneficiaries of the “Soldier’s Home”.

At the end of the visit, the General Director of Viva and other employees, together with the disabled soldiers, placed fragments of the mosaic of Martiros Saryan’s “Armenia” canvas. This is part of the “Armenia 301” program, which symbolizes the support of various organizations, foundations and individuals to soldiers, and the joint assembly and coloring of the mosaic symbolizes the joint performance of this soldierly work.

At this stage of cooperation, Viva provided 25 million AMD of support to the “Soldier’s Home” rehabilitation center for the purchase of urological endoscopic instruments.
