Hagob (Hrayr) Hovagimian, the leading heart surgeon of the Albert Star Academic Center (Portland, USA) made an invaluable contribution to the establishment of the clinic. A number of non-governmental organizations and individuals from the USA, France and Great Britain also supported the establishment and development of the center․
