YEREVAN, December 26. /ARKA/. Armenia's Health Ministry intends
to re-consider the salaries of medical workers and the medicaments
turnover in 2013, Derenik Dumanyan, Minister of Health, said Wednesday
summarizing the year.
"In the near future the employment contract will contain new
regulations controlling medical services and clarifying the minimal
salaries," Dumanyan noted.

will be possible to increase the salaries through fair distribution
of bonuses.
"We may raise the salaries of polyclinic workers by 10%. We see
appropriate resources here," he said reiterating the salaries in this
sector have not been increased for a long time.
He also highlighted the law "On medicaments" will be adopted ensuring
high-quality and affordable medicaments for the population. Before
adopting the law, it is necessary to improve medicament purchase
mechanisms and roll out monitoring of prices and databases.

will continue. Particularly, the construction of a new regional
medical center in Meghri will be launched. Hospitals of Alaverdi,
Abovyan and Berd will be modernized, and a new multi-functional
medical center will be built in Vanadzor.
