For 8 years, they promised us modern, accessible and human-centered healthcare. Instead, we got overburdened doctors, endless administration, emptying medical facilities in marzes, increasing cost of medical care and a system where the citizen is often left alone in front of his problem.

About this 168TVof “Healthy Decision” spoke during the program Anush Poghosyan, president of “Right to Health” NGO:

According to him, thousands of families experienced pain, loss and uncertainty during COVID-19.

“After the war, thousands of wounded, displaced persons and families were left with incomplete support. In these years, health care was often more busy with propaganda than with real reforms,” ​​Anush Poghosyan presented the situation.

The latter added that even today people continue to collect money for treatment, wait in lines, travel to Yerevan from marzes to receive basic services.

“The medical worker continues to work under conditions of pressure, uncertainty and unappreciated work,” said Anush Poghosyan.

Summing up, the human rights defender called on the public to definitely participate in the June 7 parliamentary elections.

“Go to the elections so that health care is managed by specialists, not by political interests. Go to the election so that the doctor can work decently in his country. Go to the election so that the citizen has the right to be treated, not just the obligation to pay. Go to the polls, because the price of healthcare mistakes is human lives,” concluded Anush Poghosyan.
