Ownership clarified: this is a Soviet-era state institute corporatized as a CJSC whose ownership form is listed as "partly state" in the Spyur directory; its general director is appointed by the shareholders' meeting — on 30 June 2025 Sergey Khachatryan, former head of the National Center for Mental Health, was appointed, effective 1 July (Aravot), after Davit Melik-Nubaryan's short tenure that followed long-time director Prof. Georgi Okoev. The hospital also runs state-funded ("petpatver") care. Exact state share and remaining shareholders are not publicly disclosed (pending verification). Documented incidents, previously missed: a criminal case over the September 2019 death of a 24-year-old mother hours after delivery (Azatutyun), outcome unknown; and a July 2024 police complaint by a 44-year-old IVF patient alleging negligence, publicly denied by the clinic (Shamshyan.com). The clinic's Russian-language ART page claims a 35-40% IVF success rate (self-reported) and still lists a surrogacy program. No independent English-language reviews were found on Trustpilot, WhatClinic or Reddit; local Topdoctors.am carries 4 polarized reviews. Beware of name confusion: the "Republican Institute of Reproductive Health, Perinatology, Obstetrics and Gynecology" on Margaryan Street 6/2 (Yandex 4.6/57) is a different institution, and the widely reported 2015 "Meri Margaryan" maternal-death trial concerned other hospitals (Margaryan was the patient's surname). A Chinese-language agency site, armivf.com, markets this clinic as "Armenia RCMC" claiming tens of thousands of IVF successes — two orders of magnitude above the clinic's own figure of 400+ ART births; the affiliation is unverified.
