Arabkir Medical Center in Yerevan

Arabkir Medical Center is one of Yerevan’s best-known multidisciplinary healthcare institutions and is particularly important for families, children and adolescents. Its full name is Arabkir Joint Medical Center and Institute of Child and Adolescent Health. The center is located at 30 Mamikonyants Street in Yerevan and is widely recognized for pediatric services, but its departments and partner units cover a broader range of diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitation needs. For travelers with children, students, families staying in Armenia and residents of Yerevan, Arabkir can be an important medical contact when symptoms require more than a basic consultation.

The center is associated with admission and emergency reception, intensive care, pediatric and neonatal services, cardiology, pulmonology, nephrology, neurology, orthopedics, urology, surgery, ENT care, laboratory testing, imaging, dentistry, rehabilitation and other specialized medical directions. This makes it relevant in many situations: fever in children that does not improve, dehydration, breathing problems, abdominal pain, injury, urinary symptoms, suspected kidney or heart issues, neurological complaints, recovery after trauma, or the need for rehabilitation planning. Because pediatric care often requires careful assessment, it is best to bring the child’s vaccination information, medication list, allergy history and any previous diagnoses.

Public contact information lists +374 15 400 300 as a main number for Arabkir Medical Center. Other publicly listed reception and institutional contacts may include extension-style or department-specific numbers, so callers should explain the purpose of the call clearly and ask to be connected to the relevant unit. For immediate life-threatening symptoms, call the national ambulance number 103 first. For police-related emergencies, 102 is used, and for general emergency coordination in Armenia, 112 and 911 are also important numbers. A hospital can help with admission and treatment, but emergency dispatch is still the safer first step when the patient cannot be transported safely.

Before visiting Arabkir, prepare the patient’s passport or ID, insurance information, prior medical records, test results, prescriptions and a phone number. If the patient is a child, also prepare the parent’s or guardian’s identification and consent information where relevant. Foreign visitors should not assume that every staff member will speak English. If possible, go with a local contact or interpreter, or write down the main symptoms in a simple, clear form. Mention the time symptoms started, temperature readings, medicines already taken, recent travel, allergies and any chronic conditions. For non-urgent care, call first to check whether an appointment is needed, which entrance to use and whether the required specialist is available that day.
