Number of people having cardiovascular diseases grows in Armenia
annually but it is impossible to clarify their exact number, head
of Cancor cardiovascular medical center Shahen Khachatryan told the
reporters today.
He said it is agreed with the circumstance that Armenians apply to
doctors in extreme cases only.
Among the reasons why people apply to doctors rarely, the doctor
mentioned the prices for treatment. He said in Armenia the prices
are very high for the poor people living in Armenia.
"Here the prices for surgery start from 2.5 million drams. It is very
expensive for an Armenian. But we are buying medicine, stands, valve,
someone has to pay for it, the state, the person or medical insurance
company," he said, adding that if they are provided all the necessary
things, he will take 300,000 drams for surgeries.
Shahen Khachatryan said Armenia lacks specialists of the sphere as
the young people either do not want to become doctors, as it is not
promising in Armenia, or becoming specialists they leave the country.
