YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 25, NOYAN TAPAN. A forum organized by the RA Ministry
of Health and USAID Mobilizing Action Against Corruption (MAAC)
Activity took place in the Congress Hotel in Yerevan on November 25,
2008. The forum discussed public participation in and public support
for the newly introduced state-guaranteed free obstetric services
and Obstetrical State Certificate system.
Government-NGO cooperation in the monitoring of the free obstetric
services process, the economic basis of the Obstetrical State
Certificate system, issues concerning the practical introduction
of the certificates and the role NGOs can play in the introduction
process were discussed.
The monitoring commission includes state officials, local NGO
representatives, and personnel of obstetric care facilities. The
implementation of the monitoring process is aimed not only at the
effective introduction of the Obstetrical State Certificate System, but
also at decreasing corruption risks. Apart from this, the Ministry of
Health has introduced the opportunity for citizens to combat corruption
through a 24-hour hotline service, which allows ministry officials
to provide immediate and effective responses to the citizens' concerns.
According to a press release submitted to NT, this forum is the second
in the series of anti-corruption forums organized by the USAID MAAC
Activity. The first forum took place on 2 July 2008 and addressed
Armenia's international anti-corruption obligations.
