YEREVAN, May 20. /ARKA/. 630 family doctors and nurses are enough
to ensure optimal outpatient medical services to the population in
Yerevan, the Chief of Healthcare and Social Security Department of
the Yerevan Municipality Armen Soghoyan said. The Municipality expects
the family doctor institution to be completely introduced by 2009.
Training of out-patient doctors and nurses to form family medical
staff started three years ago: now there are 344 family doctors and
205 nurses in Yerevan, Soghoyan said.
Currently 42 doctors and 43 nurses are attending the training. 427
family doctors and 255 nurses are to be available in Yerevan by the
end of 2008; they will work both through independent groups of family
doctors and individual medical practice.

the World Bank loan program ($20mln). Two hospitals of Yerevan -
"Surb Grigor Lusavorich" and "Surb Astvatsamayr" are to be modernized
