The Pediatric Infectious Diseases Department of the National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID) is the largest pediatric infectious diseases unit operating in Yerevan. It provides diagnosis, outpatient, and inpatient treatment for various infectious diseases transmitted through intestinal, respiratory, contact, and vector-borne routes.
The department consists of two separate sections:
• Intestinal Infections Unit
• Airborne Infections Unit
The structure and operation of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Department are designed to ensure the isolation of infectious patients and the proper organization of their treatment. At the same time, all necessary measures are implemented to prevent hospital-acquired infections.
With a capacity of 85 functional beds, the department serves more than 2,000 patients aged 0 to 18 annually. It is equipped with modern medical devices, enabling the provision of both emergency and planned medical care. Due to the flexible use of bed capacity, the department can be reorganized to hospitalize patients with any form of infectious disease, depending on the epidemiological situation and current demand for hospital beds.
This was demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the department was rapidly reorganized to provide comprehensive treatment for COVID-19 patients. The department’s team includes highly experienced infectious disease specialists who, thanks to their professional knowledge and skills, are able to diagnose various non-infectious conditions in children and refer them to specialized medical centers when necessary.
The department pays special attention not only to ensuring complete medical treatment for young patients but also to creating a warm and caring environment throughout their hospital stay.
The NCID Pediatric Infectious Diseases Department also serves as a clinical training base for the Chair of Infectious Diseases at Yerevan State Medical University named after Mkhitar Heratsi. In addition to their clinical practice, the department’s physicians are actively engaged in scientific research.
