The Helix laboratory service from St. Petersburg has opened a laboratory complex and is developing a network of diagnostic centers under a franchise in Armenia, the company has stated. The company is Russia’s fourth largest medical diagnosis practice and also operates in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
Total investments in the Armenia project amount to more than ₽579 million (US$7 million), while more than 200 jobs have been created, of which more than 100 are for medical personnel.
The laboratory is a complex that covers 850 square meters. The complex is the ninth in the company’s structure and the third in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Darya Goryakina, the Deputy General Director of Helix, stated, “The complex’s key advantage will be the first fully automated track line in Armenia, integrating analyzers into a single system. This solution will ensure high throughput of the laboratory complex—more than 20,000 tests per day—and also guarantee the exclusion of the human factor, accuracy, and minimal turnaround time for research.”
Under the franchise, at least 30 diagnostic centers will be opened in Armenia, with the first of these in Yerevan. At the centers, clients will be able to take tests and receive consultations with doctors, as well as undergo ultrasound, ECG and other examinations. In the future, a significant part of the network will be deployed in the regions of Armenia, which will make modern laboratory diagnostics more accessible for the country’s residents, including in remote areas.
