Advisor of the RA Minister of Health, this year the government has
allocated 170 million drams (about 500 thousand U.S. dollars) for
performing the heart surgeries of 110 patients.
Ruslana Gevorgian mentioned that patients can turn to any hospital
performing heart surgeries, where after checking the authenticity
of the document introduced by the patient, the specially formed
commissions will make a decision on performing a surgery.
