This multi-component project provides free or co-financed healthcare at Izmirlian Medical Center (IMC) to vulnerable people affected by displacement, conflict and military service. Launched in 2017, the project has evolved over time in response to emerging humanitarian needs and major events, expanding its beneficiary groups accordingly. It supports displaced Diaspora Armenians, wounded military personnel and Armenians forcibly displaced from Artsakh.
Since the launch of the project, 993 displaced Armenians from Syria, Lebanon and Iraq have received healthcare services at Izmirlian Medical Center. The project has also provided free healthcare services to 559 wounded soldiers and officers and supported 405 Armenians forcibly displaced from Artsakh with access to medical care.
The Izmirlian Medical Center (IMC) is the Izmirlian Foundation’s flagship healthcare project and its largest philanthropic investment in Armenia’s healthcare sector. The project was launched in Yerevan in 2008 through the initiative of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, with anchor donation support from the Izmirlian Foundation in collaboration with Louis Simone Manoogian.
This ongoing multi-phase project enables children with cancer from low-income and vulnerable families to access high-quality treatment and care in Armenia. It co-finances medicines, medical interventions and psychological support that aren’t fully covered by public healthcare funding. The initiative began in 2022 and has expanded through five consecutive phases.
The project provided free medical care to Armenians displaced by the 2020 Artsakh war. Beneficiaries received screening through mobile clinics and were referred to Izmirlian Medical Center for diagnostic, medical and surgical treatment.
