    ZARGEZUR PLANT TO PAY TREATMENT COSTS FOR 13 PEOPLE DIAGNOSED WITH HEPATITIS C

    YEREVAN, February 2. /ARKA/. Zangezur cooper-molybdenum combine will
    meet all the costs of treatment of 13 people diagnosed with hepatitis
    C in Kajaran, says the press report.

    Some patients of Kajaran municipal hospital were diagnosed with
    hepatitis C in the beginning of January.

    A special ministry of health commission was set up then for a check of
    instrument sterility and the measures to prevent spread of infectious
    diseases in the hospital. A criminal case was instituted.

    Ninety-five of 192 patients operated in Kajaran medical center were
    examined and 13 of them were diagnosed with hepatitis C, including
    seven with acute hepatitis C. All these patients are under medical
    control and their condition has improved.

    The ministry of health asked the remaining patients to apply to
    medical institutions for examination by the end of February.

    The press office of the combine said on Friday five of thirteen
    citizens diagnosed with hepatitis C are its employees.

    As the disease treatment requires serious expenditures and is not
    covered by the medical insurance, the management of the plant talked
    to the main stockholder, Cronimet Mining AG, and to the ministry
    of health, and decided to cover the cost of treatments of its five
    employees, according to the report.

    At the same time, as a socially responsible company, the plant is
    willing to shoulder the cost of treatment of the other eight patients.

    Zangezur Copper- Molybdenum Combine operates the largest copper
    and molybdenum deposit in the country. The company's shareholders
    are German "Croniment Mining" ( 60%), Pure Iron Plant OJSC (15%),
    "Armenian Molybdenum Production" Ltd. (12.5%), "Zangezur Mining" Ltd.

    (12.5%). --0--
