About us

“Khnami” Palliative Care Center is a specialized medical center providing palliative care and support to people living with serious and chronic illnesses.

The center was founded in Yerevan in 2019 in response to the growing need for palliative care services. Since 2020, “Khnami” has been providing palliative care to patients both in hospital setting and at home.

Over six years of operation “Khnami” Medical Center has provided medical care and support to hundreds of patients living with various serious illnesses and their complications. Our patients include people with cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, severe functional impairments following strokes and fractures, dementia, as well as other serious and chronic conditions.

The primary goal of palliative care is to improve a patient’s quality of life, relieve pain and other symptoms associated with their illness, and provide support to patients and their families throughout the different stages of the disease.

Over the years, “Khnami” has built relationships based on trust with patients and their families, as well as with physicians and other healthcare professionals. For us, this trust is one of the most important measures of our work—and at the same time, a great responsibility.

One of “Khnami”’s key strengths is our professional team. Physicians, nurses, and care specialists work together as one team, guided by the core principles of palliative care while taking into account the individual needs of each patient.

We believe that medical care for people living with serious chronic illnesses should extend beyond treating the disease itself. When a disease can no longer be cured, or when eliminating the disease is no longer the primary goal of the treatment, palliative care focuses on managing symptoms, preserving and improving quality of life, and maintaining the patient’s dignity.

Our mission is to provide palliative care with dignity, a high level of professional responsibility and kindness.
At “Khnami” palliative care center, every patient is first and foremost a person, with their own medical, psychological, social and family needs. That is why our approach goes beyond diagnosing and managing the disease and its symptoms – we provide comprehensive support to both patients and their families.
