Srbazan: it is very important that medical workers feel protected in  Armenia

ArmInfo.It is very important that medical workers feel protected in Armenia. Leader of the "Tavush  For the Motherland" movement, Primate of the Tavush Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan stated on May 17 at a meeting with representatives of the medical community.

According to him, very often among medical workers it is said that  the country's medical system is weak and requires serious attention,  but at the same time they forget about the huge potential that should  be used.  Moreover, there are all the possibilities for this:  financial, mental, and professional. "However, unfortunately, we  continue to be considered a below-average country. A small  foundation, of which I am the chairman of the board of trustees,  managed to implement the "City of Smile" project. Thanks to this  independent foundation, established by a group of doctors in 2014,  people from all over the world come to Yerevan hematology center for  treatment. People come here because there are serious professional  achievements in this center," the archbishop said.

He continued that if such a small fund can be done, then why not, the  same thing can be done at the state level. There is a ministry, an  agency, a National Institute, but there is no movement forward.  "After all, it is possible to establish centers in various regions of  the country, where medical services will be accessible and of high  quality, and for that  it is necessary to work in all areas, open the  doors of the world's best universities while increasing the level of  domestic university education. There are opportunities for that,"  Galstanyan said.
