YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Citizens’ registration at district
therapeutists’ and pediatricians’ will start in Yerevan in autumn in
the health care primary circle. As Armen Soghoyan, the Yerevan Mayor’s
Office Department for Health Care and Social Insurance stated at the
February 19 press conference, it will give possibility to create a data
base, digitizing complete information about every citizen. According to
his observations, the data base will replace the ambulance card in the
sense of principles, though they will be filled in. A.Soghoyan assured
that protective programs were worked out which will prohibit strangers’
entrance in data base. In the Department Chief’s words, creation of
the data base will give possibility also to define the real number of
the population as there are cases when the information presented about
it does not correspond to the reality. A.Soghoyan also mentioned that
the data base will make easier the process of instroduction of the
family doctor’s system. In his words, by the government’s decision,
family doctor’s individual and group practice will be introduced in
the system starting from the middle of 2007 and the latters will have
right to recruit citizens from the territory of the whole community.
