    YEREVAN, MARCH 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The medical employees of the primary
    health care circle of the Armenian marzes of Kotayk and Gegharkunik
    don't implement many of main instructions necessary for pre-natal,
    post-natal, child's care, consulting on family planning and treatment
    of sexually transmitted diseases.

    Zaruhi Mkrtchian, the Monitoring and Estimation Specialist informed
    about this at the March 14 discussion, refering to results of studies
    held in the above-mentioned marzes. The study was held within the
    framework of the Renovate and Assist Reproduction Health program
    financed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

    Z.Mkrtchian mentioned that only the 35% of visitors knows which medical
    services of the reproductive health are included in the package of the
    free medical services adopted by the Government. According to her, the
    majority of visitors informed that they paid about 50 thousand drams
    (about 110 U.S. dollars) for medical services of maternal health and
    neonatal care.

    It was mentioned that the goal of the Reproductive Health program
    with the duration of 5 years is to improve the accessibility of the
    medical services of the maternal and infant's care in the rural places
    of Armenia. The program is implemented by the Emerging Markets Group,
    Intrahealth International and Save the Children organizations. The
    main circle of activity of the program includes re-training of medical
    employees of the rural reproductive health and primary health care
    level and allocation of necessary equipment.

    The program has been implemented since 2004 in Lori, Shirak and
    Tavush marzes.
