Serzh Sargsyan held today a consultation to discuss existing problems
in the health sector, including the use of state control mechanisms
and ensuring the population's access to health services.
"I would like to know why many of the complaints in our society are
related to this important sphere," Serzh Sargsyan said. "Our citizens
raise their voices, saying that the "state order" system does not work
properly, bribes are frequently taken. Citizens complain about
"incorrect and irresponsible medical treatment" and low-quality
services, abuse of their rights, red tape, medicines, and the current
situation".
Head of the Control Service of the Armenian President Hovhannes
Hovsepyan gave a report about the state procurement process in the
health sector, the situation in the drug market, and the results of
the checks conducted by the Control Service on September 19-26, as a
result of which a number of violations were revealed.
Minister of Health Derenik Dumanyan spoke about the problems of the
health sector and the proposals aimed at their solution, which have
been singled out by the Ministry, taking into account the
recommendations made at the previous government consultation invited
by Serzh Sargsyan.
After familiarizing himself with the reasons of the existing problems
and discussing them with the consultation participants, Serzh Sargsyan
called the situation in the health sphere shameful, criticizing the
inaction of executives of both the Ministry of Health and several
other state bodies. At the conclusion of the consultation, the
Armenian president gave instructions to the executives. It was decided
to develop a program of significant changes in the health sphere
within 6-8 months - based on the proposals - and to submit it for
approval.
