The hospitals in Armenia cut costs of the state-guaranteed order and cash in on the patients. This is the conclusion of the Financial Control Inspection of the Armenian Finance Ministry for 2012.
At today'spress conference the head of the Inspection, Sona Gharibyan, said that violations were registered in almost all hospitals of the republic.
She said that state-guaranteed treatment in all hospitals include food, whereas only 2 or 3 hospitals give food to the patients. The hospitals also reduce the period of the state-guaranteed treatment. For instance, TBC patients are to undergo 50-day treatment, but they stay in hospital no longer than 40 days, she said.
