YEREVAN, October 16. /ARKA/. Armenia should elaborate a policy of
evolutionary development of the healthcare sector, Deputy Minister
of Healthcare Tatul Hakobyan told students of the American University
of Armenia Saturday.

He said that the policy should be based on the analytics and monitoring
of the sector, as dynamic changes currently take place in the society.

"The policy should not be dogmatic, but flexible to respond to
developments in the society," Hakobyan reported.

He pointed out that the policy should take the socioeconomic situation
and political developments in the country into account.

He also reported that the strategy in the healthcare sector should be
coordinated with other sectors that are related to heath, particularly
ecology, transport and water supply.
