There will be no medical dispensaries until the end of the year
which will have no family doctors, Sergei Khachatryan, head of
agency on health care programs at the ministry of health, told a
press conference today.

Family health care has been established in Armenia since 1997 upon
receiving the first credit from World Bank for educating family doctors
and nurses. About 200 doctors received education in the field. The
new tranche will provide education to another 950 family doctors. In
the course of the next 4 years, some other 1000 family doctors will
be educated.
