History

In 1938 the clinical maternity hospital #3 of Yerevan has been established. The current building has been exploited since 1964. In 2001 the maternity hospital has been transformed into the Shengavit Medical Center with a share belonging to the Yerevan municipality. In 2002 the share completely became the property of the staff and it was reorganized into a multi-disciplinary clinical-diagnostic institution.
