YEREVAN, MAY 7, ARMENPRESS: Six thousand 387 children were born in the first 4 months of the running year in Yerevan, Karine Saribekyan, head of Mother and Child Healthcare Department of the Armenian Healthcare ministry told Armenpress that this index is more by 1992 compared with the same period of the last year. The growth of the number of the births is connected with the involvement of birth aid certificates. Connected with the activity of the system the ministry periodically conducts a monitoring in the maternity hospitals of both Yerevan and provinces. Works are being carried out in the direction of increasing the competence level of the pregnant women, too.
“The results of the monitoring prove that the system works efficiently, there are positive responses both by pregnant women and doctors,” K. Saribekyan said. Non-governmental organizations are involved in the works of the monitoring which work with the mothers even when they are signed out from the hospital.
The system of birth aid certificates has been operating since July 1, 2008.
