The profession of a doctor should be the most honorable, but the
attitude to medical workers is rather negative in Armenia, the
chief cardiologist of Yerevan, deputy director of Yerevan Cardiology
Institute, Parunak Zelveyan, said at today’s press-conference.
He also added that just for this reason some people take a right to
beat doctors. He means the fact that on 17 June the security guards
of the restaurant “Harsnakar” owned by Ruben Hairapetyan severely
beat a group of military doctors dining there. Vahe Avetyan, one of
these doctors, is on the verge of death.
He said that the healthcare system of Armenia does not let to reach
much success in this sphere as there is no single law which would
systemize the healthcare in the country, in particular, delivery of
free of charge medical aid. “Unlike the developed countries, there is
no social advertising in Armenia, which would give an opportunity to
the people from time to time to listen to the precautionary measures
so that to prevent many dangerous diseases”, – he said and added that
the healthcare system of Armenia has many downsides, in particular,
high tariffs of medical survey.
