Pastinfo: Minister of Health of Armenia Derenik Dumanyan instructed
the ministry experts today to study maternity hospitals of the city.
According to the minister, 6 billion drams is annually allocated
from the budget for the government program Maternity Aid to boost the
rate of birth but it is spent informally by way of making unnecessary
payments in hospitals.
Dwelling on paid visits to doctors, the minister noted that one cannot
understand the high fees. Derenik Dumanyan instructed to study what
kind of invented paid services there are in hospitals, in particular
the conditions of the wards, since very often free of charge wards
offer such bad conditions that women prefer paid rooms.
Derenik Dumanyan instructed the experts to work out a list of free
of charge obligatory maternity services.
