Despite of the fact that our country has ratified World Health
Organization convention on fight against smoking and has adopted a
law on limitation of tobacco use but nothing has been changed with the
adoption of these documents because they have not been reached to the
addressees, Vahe Ter-Minasyan, head of public relations department
of Armenian Medical Association said. The organization has been
implementing OSI project on fight against smoking trying to engage
first help medical clinics in anti-smoke fight.
A monitoring has been conducted including unexpected visits to 30
medical clinics. The monitoring revealed that 17 out of 30 clinics
have anti-smoking posters, smoking is prohibited in the halls of 25
of them and cigarettes are not sold in neither of them.
As a result of the monitoring, number 22 clinic has been announced as
the winner and has been provided with a computer as planned in the
project. The Head of the clinic Ludmila Lazarian said they needed
a computer direly.
