Health PIU director speaks by facts

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS. Nelson Zuloyan, Acting Director of the Armenian Ministry of Health “Healthcare Project Implementation Unit” State Agency, answered to the questions of “Armenpress” on the development of Healthcare sector in Armenia;on implemented exceptional programs and results.

-“Mr. Zuloyan, Programs Offices implement various development programs in Armenia for long years. It is known that sometimes various assessments are made on effectiveness of expenses, the last assessment were some PMs’ speeches during the extraordinary session of National Assembly on November 24.Please express your opinion on PIU activity.

- First of all I would like to mention that purpose of establishment of programs offices was the effective fulfillment of development programs and the reforms funded by International donor organizations. As for Health PIU, I can say that it was established in 1997 when former Soviet health care system was in decay and the new one was not still formed. Therefore, there was a strong need to quickly overcome transitional difficulties and restore the availability of medical services assuring population’s medical care both in primary and in Medical Industry as the demand for medical services has permanent nature and cannot be delayed.

- What measures were taken over modernization of medical services, as the Media periodically introduces hospitals with poor conditions and the population complains of the quality of medical service?

-Attention is paid also to Medical Industry. Medical complexes were established in Yerevan at the beginning of 2000s and in regions 12 multi-profile and secondary level health care institutions providing medical services and 2 new medical centers in Gyumri and Meghri were established for the first time during the history of independent Armenia. The mentioned medical centers were equipped with all modern international standards of medical equipment and furniture.

-What programs are realized in the present time?

Now, for the first time in the history of Armenia, we are implementing a free mass screening program for the population against cervical cancer, hypertension and early detection of diabetes.”
