The polyclinic serves the town of Stepanavan and the surrounding villages of about 24,000 people. Of which 9,000 are women, 8,000 are men, and 7,100 are children. The polyclinic is a two-storey construction built in the 70s, which consists of 4 buildings connected to each other with warm passages.

The Reconstruction of the polyclinic in the town of Stepanavan involved the following:  The strengthening of the structure, construction of a new roof, replacement of the windows and doors, floors reconstruction, the overall renovation, and installation of internal and external engineering networks.

The area was improved, and pavement was restored. Also, examination of the technical conditions of the structure is needed to be determined the level of damage and measures necessary to satisfy seismic stability of the structure.
