Head of the Ministry of Health of Armenia spoke in favor of  increasing the remuneration of doctors from the general "white cash  desk" of medical institutions

ArmInfo.Levon Altunyan, the  Minister of Healthcare of Armenia, spoke in favor of increasing the remuneration of doctors from the general "white cash desk" of medical institutions. At the meeting with the representatives of the health protection system of the Ararat region, the minister noted the importance not only of ensuring the quality of medical services, but also of resolving the issue of transferring money flows from the shadow turnover to the "white cash desk", as doctors should receive a larger percentage from the health facility.

According to the minister, these measures will increase the effectiveness of medical 

services, and people will be more willing to turn to doctors.  

As the press service of the ministry informs, during the meeting with 

medical workers and medical functionaries of the region, events and 

projects concerning necessary medical equipment in hospitals were 

discussed. For example, in the opinion of representatives of this 

field, the creation of a single platform for the purchase of 

medicines by the ministry will have a very favorable effect on 

medical institutions and will help to save money. In his turn, the 

minister noted that the tendency should be reversed when residents of 

the regions nearby to the capital resort to medical aid in Yerevan, 

through raising the level of provided medical services in the 

regions.
