History
The beginning of hematology and blood service development in Armenia is considered to be in 1932. At this time, a group of specialists from Moscow visited Yerevan with the participation and proposal of A.A.Baghdasarov to promote donation and to establish blood service in Armenia.

At the same time, a committee on blood transfusion was formed. Later in 1993, the committee became a branch of the Moscow Central Scientific-Research Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion.

Since 1939 the Armenian branch of the Moscow Institute was a Republican station for Blood transfusion. Meanwhile, blood transfusion branches were opened in Leninakan (Gyumri) under the direction of S.Tovmasyan, and in Kirovakan (Vanadzor) under the supervision of E.Aslanyan.

On 17 March 1947, based on the blood transfusion station, a scientific-research center of Haematology and blood transfusion was established by the decision of the Council of Ministers. Over the past years, the Institute has become a scientific and clinical basis in the sphere of hematology and transfusiology and had an essential role in establishing and developing blood services in the Republic of Armenia. In 1993 the Institute was renamed “Haematology center after Prof. R.H.Yeolyan,” Ministry of Health, Republic of Armenia.
