Health Center Planned in Arzni With Belgian Investors

The Belgium–Armenia Chamber of Commerce reported plans to build a health center of excellence for rest and rehabilitation in the resort village of Arzni.

In early October 2026, a Belgian business delegation visited Yerevan, bringing together executives from 15 companies in healthcare, logistics, construction, and IT. The visit was organized by the Belgium–Armenia Chamber of Commerce with support from the Belgian Embassy.

Health Center in Arzni

Chamber President Valery Safaryan said that a project for a health center of excellence is being prepared. It is planned for Arzni, a resort village near Yerevan known for its mineral waters.

The center is envisioned as a resort where people can come for rest and rehabilitation treatment. The project will be financed mainly by Belgian entrepreneurs, with some investment expected from the Armenian diaspora. The construction timeline and cost have not yet been announced.

What Else Healthcare Representatives Discussed

  • Philippe Leroy, CEO of Saint-Luc University Clinics in Brussels, said he had visited hospitals in Armenia. He said he was impressed by their infrastructure and the level of physician training. Saint-Luc specializes in genetic diseases, complex surgery, and transplantation and hopes to collaborate on physician training and the review of complex clinical cases.
  • Belgian company Ecosteryl offered hospitals equipment for environmentally friendly on-site treatment of medical waste without incineration.

What This Means for Patients

These are still only plans: no specific timeline or terms have been announced. Those interested in rehabilitation and resort treatment in Armenia may want to follow the project. We will update this news item when more details become available. Armenia’s operating resorts are listed in the Sanatoriums section.
