Next year Armenia's Ministry of Health will focus on the construction
and renovation of regional medical centers, Minister of Health Derenik
Dumanyan told journalists on Wednesday.
Specifically, the construction of a new medical center is to get
under way in Meghri, and the Kapan medical center will be renovated.
"The medical centers in Alaverdi, Abovyan and Berd will be modernized
as well. A new multifield hospital for 190 patients will be constructed
in Vanadzor. However, the construction of modern medical centers in
Armenia's regions will not resolve the current problems.
The ministry is implementing measures to prevent patients from coming
to Yerevan for medical examination and treatment," Mr Dumanyan said.
>From August 1, 2012, the medical personnel are paid as much for
one normal delivery in Armenia's regions as in Yerevan's maternity
hospitals.
"An additional 115 million drams was allocated to regional maternity
hospitals. We proposed that Armenia's government revise the financing
of free medical services in favor of Armenia's regions. We are also
taking measures to increase the financing of regional outpatient
clinics by 10%," the minister said.
Mr Dumanyan also pointed out the mismanagement of medical personnel -
259 vacancies in Armenia's regions.
