Within the frame of the Armenian Eye Care project, one of our elderly beneficiaries,

Sargis Semerjyan, received an eye operation. The surgical operation took place in Hrazdan city

with Satine Manukyan accompanying the patient. The post-operative visits were also made by

the beneficiary. The Armenian Eye Care project and their caring physicians did their best to

restore Sargis Semerjyan's eye sight. We thank the Armenian Eye Care project for caring about

the health of the Orran beneficiaries. During this reporting period, several visits to "Sourb

Astvacamayr", "Sourb Grigor Lusavorich", Armenia Medical Center and Antituberculousis centers

were made to learn about the beneficiaries' health conditions. The visits also helped to meet our

beneficiaries' parents at different Medical Centers and have additional communication and

cooperation opportunities with them.
