    The system of co-payments will be introduced in Armenian medical
    institutions starting July 1.

    Minister of Healthcare Harutyun Kushkyan says during the elaboration
    of the pilot program the Ministry took into consideration not only
    the advantages but also the difficulties. If a patient is unable to
    afford the co-payment, doctors are to provide free treatment for him.

    "Only chief doctors enjoy this privilege," Mr. Kushkyan said.

    The program first of all refers to people who undergo treatment by
    government order. Part of the sum will be paid by the government,
    the remaining part - by the patient. The program will be first tested
    in Arabkir medical center. By the turn of the year, the system of
    co-payments will be applied in Surb Grigor Lusavoritch, Erebuni and
    Armenia medical centers.

    "If the program proves efficient and people are content with the new
    system, we shall think of its continuation," the minister said.

    Today, Minister Kushkyan visited Nork Infection Clinic which has
    recently been overhauled with the financial support of the Armenian
    community of Brazil and private individuals.

    Treatment in the renovated departments will be realized by government
    order, with AMD 12000-16 000 daily payment.
