ArmInfo.In emergency cases requiring urgent installation of stents in cardiosurgery, henceforth, not ordinary, but a medicinal stent will be installed in the framework of state orders. The Ministry of Health reports this.
According to the source, the Ministry of Health signed a tripartite memorandum on interaction between the Ministry of Health, 10 stenting companies and 11 medical institutions that install stents. The purpose of the memorandum is to provide state-guaranteed free or concessional stenting services with more affordable prices and better products.
The program provides for a year to carry out 3,625 operations (including military operations and social packs). If the beneficiaries change, the number of transactions may change. Within the framework of the program "Stent for laif", since 2015, 1,500 people have undergone surgery.
The minister also urged medical institutions that implement stenting to revise prices for operations, noting that everyone will benefit from this. Some medical institutions have already revised their prices for paid operations. Thus, starting from July 1 stent installation within the state order will cost 750,000 drams, and earlier this operation cost the state 1 million 800 thousand.
It is envisaged that the annual savings of the state budget through this line will be more than 400 million drams.
