ONE MORE HEALTH CARE GRANT "GOBBLED UP" IN ARMENIA
YEREVAN, JUNE 24. ARMINFO. Two-year UMCOR program to enhance the
coverage of public health in Armenia was closed in Yerevan today.
The program was financed by US Culture and Education Department.
Head of UMCOR Armenia Warren Harrity says that a $150,000 grant was
allocated for the project. The money was spent on the organization of
two seminars in Armenia and one in the US. Although the project was to
enhance the coverage of public health - that is meant for journalists
- attending the seminars were mostly representatives of NGOs and
Health Care Ministry. And although a number of Armenian media took
part in the coverage of the rights of people to get government
financed medical assistance no single journalist was invited to the
training course at South Florida University (the US).
Meanwhile presidential health care advisor Ruslana Gevogryan (who took
part in all the seminars) says that if two years ago Health Care
Ministry received 100 calls a day for getting free medical care not it
gets 40 calls a day. So in her opinion the UMCOR program has attained
its goal - the public awareness in public medicine has been raised.
