"After the legislative changes of the Armenian Ministry of Health, when medical education is no longer mandatory for hospital directors, a remarkable process has appeared in the system. Directors of a number of state-subordinated medical organizations were admitted to the RA Ministry of Health "Academic S. Clinical residency of the Avdalbekyan National Institute of Health, specialty "Public Health".
We are talking about the existing training lasting 1 year and 2 months, while these people are managing medical centers at the same time, and some of them are also engaged in political activities. In response to the statements of Anush Poghosyan, the president of "Right to Health" NGO, the National Institute of Health clarified that educational processes are organized "late hours" and on weekends.
And this explanation does not close, but deepens the issues. If the training organized by Alexander Bazarchyan really exists, then when and how do directors attend classes while managing hospitals? If the classes are held outside working hours, do the lecturers receive overtime pay, from which budget and how is it formulated? And if they do not attend an educational institution, how are professional qualifications formed? Alexander Bazarchyan must answer in detail the questions about how many diplomas have been handed out so far and what real qualifications the educated people have received. The Armenian Ministry of Health, the National Institute of Health, the State Control Service and the inspection bodies are obliged to clarify whether this is a real existing education or a formal mechanism for issuing diplomas within the system, so that everything is in order on paper. The answers to our inquiries in this regard will be forthcoming." Details from "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper. in today's issue
