    YEREVAN. - Armenia's Premier Tigran Sargsyan chaired a consultation
    meeting devoted to the country's healthcare sector.

    `We need to understand as to why the economic growth in this sector
    reduced by 4.4 percent, as compared with the same time period last
    year, even though we took very serious measures in the healthcare
    sector. I believe there is one explanation here: shadow [economy] has
    grown,' PM Sargsyan specifically noted, the Government press service
    informs.

    The PM instructed Health Minister Derenik Dumanyan to launch a
    monitoring system within his ministry, and to demand respective
    monthly reports from Armenia's 466 medical facilities.

    In his turn, State Revenue Committee Chairman Gagik Khachatryan
    proposed to carry out, jointly with the Health Ministry, precise
    programs to combat shadow economy.

    Also, the PM stressed that the results of inspections at the medical
    facilities will be finalized in September, and he called upon the
    Health Minister to implement urgent personnel changes in case of
    facing any obstacles.
