YEREVAN. - Economic standards are not applied in Armenia's healthcare sector.
Healthy Lifestyle monthly magazine editor Ashot Melkonyan told the
aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am, with respect to the discussions on
the Government's `Armenia's 2012-2015 Long-Term Development Program.'
As per Melkonyan, that is why it is not clear as to the expenses the
hospitals will have to make to take care of hospital patients. Such
standards enable to clearly specify the cost of state coverage for
hospital costs.
In Melkonyan's words, the manpower standards of Armenia's hospitals
are such problem, too.
`At present, many hospitals have a surplus of surgeons that are rarely
performing surgeries,' he added.
According to Melkonyan, the clarification of the list of hospitals,
where the patients have the right to immediately receive free medical
care, likewise will be helpful to clarify the state coverage in the
healthcare sector.
`Such list does exist, but it is not always used,' Ashot Melkonyan stated.
