YEREVAN, APRIL 4, ARMENPRESS: Three-day training courses will be held
in all Armenian provinces to help local medical personnel apply the
first national guideline for management of patients with venereal
diseases. The trainings are intended not only for narrow circle of
specialists but also for doctors delivering primary health services,
especially for family doctors and the personnel of rural medical posts.

The program is implemented by Academy of Educational Development
(AED) and funded by USAID. It will launch in Armavir and Ashtarak
provinces April 4.

According to the head of the AED Anush Yedigarian, the aim of the
program is to involve the doctors delivering primary health services
in identifying and treating sexually transmitted diseases.

Some 400 doctors delivering primary health services are supposed to
be involved in the program.

Seventeen doctors from Armenian Health Ministry’s Dermatology and
Venereal Diseases Medical Center will conduct the courses. The
participants will get certificates.

The Health Minister has already signed a special order that details
the process of the guideline’s introduction.

According to the Dermatology and Venereal Diseases Medical Center,
28,931 instances of venereal diseases were reported last year in
Armenia.
